About Tess
Dr. Tess DeProw is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri. She has three decades of experience helping people who are facing depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship pain, parenting challenges, grief, and major life changes. Her approach aims to identify strengths and build practical steps toward healthier daily life.
She listens in a warm and empathic way and encourages people to try new strategies at a pace that feels doable. Sessions focus on clear goals and real-life tools rather than vague theory. Clients work together with her to spot patterns, make small changes, and measure progress over time.
Tess uses a mix of methods that match each person's needs. She relies on cognitive-behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feeling and coping. Motivational interviewing and narrative therapy help people find their own reasons for change and reframe difficult stories from the past.
Her style is supportive and strengths-oriented. She helps people notice options they may not have seen before and build plans that fit their daily life. The aim is steady improvement in mood, relationships, and functioning.
Dr. DeProw welcomes people who want practical, collaborative work. Her focus includes addictions, family and parenting concerns, anger, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, career stress, and low self-esteem. International clients may be accepted, and sessions are offered in English.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based approaches focus on how early relationships affect current connections and feelings. In online sessions this can mean talking through relationship patterns, identifying needs, and practicing different ways of asking for support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact; online CBT often includes setting small behavioral experiments, tracking thoughts, and trying new routines between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people like using online therapy because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can be adapted to shorter check-ins or longer therapeutic work, and they let clients practice skills in the context of their everyday routines while working with a licensed professional.
