About Teresa
Teresa Gehman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 30 years of experience. She works with adults on problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Teresa also supports people facing issues related to intimacy, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and compassion fatigue.
She uses a mix of practical therapy approaches rather than a single method. Sessions often include clear steps to manage difficult feelings, skills to change unhelpful thoughts, and ways to reconnect with what matters. Teresa often blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral strategies, and client-centered conversation to shape each session.
In the room she aims for straightforward, solution-oriented work. Expect to talk through patterns that keep problems going, try small experiments between sessions, and practice new ways of responding to anger and stress. She pays attention to attachment and relationship patterns that affect daily life.
Teresa has long experience with trauma and abuse, and she incorporates trauma-focused ideas when they are relevant. She also helps people with control issues, codependency, body image, chronic illness or pain, and the fallout from separation or divorce. Her work includes attention to LGBT concerns and discrimination-related stress.
Sessions are conducted in English and based in New York. If you are considering starting, confirm current session options and scheduling details before you book.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Teresa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take actions consistent with those values even when emotions are difficult. ACT is often useful for anger, stress, and life changes because it focuses on what matters rather than only on symptom reduction.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and test practical behavior changes. CBT offers concrete tools for managing anxiety, mood shifts, and reactive anger through short experiments and skill practice.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client work together to see which methods fit the person's goals, preferences, and life demands. That collaboration shapes what is tried in sessions and what homework or practice looks like between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, allow for shorter check-ins, or remove travel time. When exploring options, consider which arrangement best fits your schedule, whether you prefer a focused skills session or a longer exploratory conversation.
