Teresa Bubnis, LPCC

Teresa Bubnis is an Ohio-licensed counselor who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people face stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She greets clients with straightforward care and a focus on building confidence and motivation. The first contact is treated as a real step forward, and she acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

With 25 years of experience, Teresa centers sessions on what will help now. She adjusts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. That can mean breaking problems into smaller steps, testing new habits, or sharpening how someone talks to themselves.

Teresa draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape practical work in sessions. Those methods are used to tackle worry, improve coping after loss, rebuild confidence, and manage life transitions. She keeps language simple and actions clear so progress is easier to see.

She also has experience with aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, first responder challenges, workplace strain, and isolation or loneliness. Teresa helps people address money stress, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, social anxiety, and communication problems in everyday life.

Sessions aim to be collaborative. Teresa listens, then helps set short-term goals and doable steps. If you want help sorting priorities or finding momentum again, she offers steady, practical support.

How her approaches guide online work

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Motivational Interviewing is used to build a person’s own reasons for change and strengthen commitment when motivation feels low. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and short-term goals to create faster movement toward what matters most.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try an approach that fits. She adapts methods over time based on what helps most in sessions so the plan stays collaborative and practical.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into busy days by reducing commute time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it easier to schedule around caregiving duties or work breaks, and let people meet from a place that suits their routine rather than rearranging the whole day.
