About Teresa
Teresa Buss is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, ADHD, and other life changes. She is an LGBTQIA+ ally and frames work around each person's perspective and goals. Teresa writes that compassion and relationship building are central to her approach.
Teresa uses practical, body-based methods alongside talk therapy. She emphasizes breath work, mindful attention, and image making to help shift habits and reactions. She describes a bottom-up focus that attends to how the body holds stress and trauma, then works toward emotional regulation and new ways of responding.
Her style is welcoming and nonjudgmental. Teresa aims to create a space where people feel safe to share what has happened and why certain patterns persist. She says she will collaborate on a treatment plan that aligns with each person's goals.
Teresa draws on research about trauma and post-traumatic growth to guide her work. She helps people build new narratives and habits that support long-term change rather than being defined by a diagnosis. Her clinical approaches include attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative therapy.
With five years of professional experience, Teresa has worked with a range of concerns from childhood issues through adult trauma and recovery. She invites people to take small steps and notes that steady progress is possible with consistent support.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Teresa uses attachment-based work to help people notice patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and reactions. This approach is useful for people struggling with trust, relationship distress, or parenting concerns. She also uses client-centered therapy, which centers the person’s experience and choices and helps people feel heard while deciding what changes matter most. Mindfulness techniques are part of her practice too, offering breath work and present-moment attention to calm the nervous system and reduce reactivity.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their goals, history, and preferences. She prioritizes paced, manageable steps so people can try methods and adjust as needed.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, since they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether someone needs a shorter check-in during a work break or a longer session at a convenient time. It also allows people to practice breath work and mindfulness in a familiar setting and to bring images or writing into sessions for narrative and attachment-focused work.
