01About Tess
Tess Gibbs is a licensed counselor practicing in Georgia with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Tess also supports clients facing relationship strain and life changes, and she emphasizes respectful, compassionate care.
Her approach centers on tailoring conversations and plans to each person. Tess listens first to understand what matters most, then works with clients to set practical goals.
Background and approach
She aims for clear steps people can try between sessions. Tess draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She combines that with cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
Together these approaches create a mix of empathic listening and concrete skills practice. Sessions are paced to the individual. Some people start with short-term goals for coping and symptom relief.
Others use therapy to explore deeper patterns like guilt, shame, or trouble forgiving themselves or others. Tess pays attention to communication problems and workplace or young adult stressors. She frames therapy as a collaborative process.
Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to talk through concerns, try new strategies, and track progress. Tess supports people as they work toward clearer purpose, stronger self-love, and better day-to-day coping.

How client-centered and CBT work online
Tess uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person’s experience. That means sessions start by listening closely and following what matters most to the client. This approach is useful for things like self-esteem, life purpose, and processing guilt or shame.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, CBT, which focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new ways of responding to anxiety, depression, and stress. It often includes small homework tasks to try new behaviors between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tess works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts the plan as progress is made or needs change so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people work face-to-face when that helps, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a quicker way to check in or process thoughts between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
