01About Theresa
Theresa Kibbe is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with 21 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, eating concerns, mood struggles, and stress. She speaks plain truths and encourages each person to bring their own strengths into the room.
Theresa listens for the patterns that keep problems repeating. She helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and practices small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her work often blends approaches to match the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to test thoughts and try new behaviors.
Somatic methods bring attention to body sensations linked to strong feelings. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used when trauma memories get stuck. Theresa aims to create a calm, direct space where people can talk about painful things and try new ways of coping.
She also supports people facing family conflict, grief, caregiving stress, or problems with boundaries and communication. The emphasis is on clear goals and tools that fit daily life. Signing up starts with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling a first session.
Theresa believes that taking that first step takes courage and that small changes compound over time.

How Theresa Uses Trauma Work and CBT Online
Theresa commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Trauma-focused techniques and EMDR-style approaches are used to address painful memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions.She approaches this as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client discuss goals and preferences, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps most. Theresa explains methods in simple terms and checks in often to make sure the direction feels right.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different rhythms of life. Video sessions work well when visual cues and longer conversation are helpful. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework support, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel plans.
