Theresa Shultz, LCSW

Theresa Shultz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in North Carolina with 16 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, grief, relationship problems, sleep issues, parenting strain, and life changes. She also notes experience with ADHD, bipolar concerns, and first responder or veteran-related issues.

Theresa draws on practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She listens without judgment and is direct when needed. She focuses on clear goals and concrete steps rather than vague talk. She and the person work as a team to identify manageable next steps.

Her clinical toolkit includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, client-centered work, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to address thoughts, behaviors, and values that affect daily life. Expect exercises that can be practiced between sessions and simple strategies to reduce reactivity and improve coping.

Theresa also brings lived experience in long-term recovery from alcohol use, and that informs how she approaches addiction and relapse concerns. She has worked across a range of settings and with diverse mental health issues, which shapes a practical, experience-grounded way of working.

Sessions move at a pace set by the client and focus on steps toward the goals identified together. People who want straightforward, skills-based help with anger, addiction, stress, or related problems may find her approach useful.
