Theresa Yucel, LPC

Theresa Yucel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Texas and Louisiana with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns. She also supports people facing life changes and challenges related to identity and mood.

Theresa completed a Master of Arts in Counseling from Northwestern University. Early in her career she worked three years in an inpatient psychiatric hospital managing crises and helping people through acute episodes. She later moved into outpatient and group work focused on adults and older adults.

In practice she uses practical methods that help people talk through what is happening now and make changes that feel manageable. That can mean looking at thought patterns and behaviors, understanding past relationships that shape current feelings, or setting short, achievable goals to reduce stress.

Theresa often combines client-centered direction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychodynamic ideas. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to help people build immediate coping steps. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal-oriented while attending to longer-standing patterns.

Common topics she helps with include setting healthy boundaries, coping with grief, handling workplace or family frustration, and navigating anxiety or mood shifts. She works with adults across the lifespan, including older adults, and addresses concerns tied to identity and life transitions.

To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Theresa frames therapy as a partnership where practical steps and clearer understanding are the focus.
