About Theresa

Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 21 years of clinical experience. She helps people who struggle with addiction, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image concerns, mood disorders, stress, and grief. Theresa focuses on practical, doable steps so clients feel some relief between sessions.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Theresa listens for what matters most and uses that as a starting point for change.

Background and approach

She aims to make the process respectful and straightforward. Theresa blends several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors.

EMDR is used when past events continue to cause distress, and somatic techniques help people notice and work with body sensations tied to emotions. In sessions she will use simple tools and clear goals. Therapy can include short exercises, skill-building, and talking through difficult memories in paced steps.

The focus is on what works day to day, like managing stress, reducing harmful patterns, or handling family and relationship tensions. Theresa encourages small experiments between appointments so people can see what changes feel useful. She also respects that starting therapy takes courage and supports each person at their own pace.

The aim is steady, practical progress toward greater balance and confidence.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

Approaches that translate well to online care

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts that feed anxiety or low mood and test small behavioral changes. CBT sessions often include simple homework and practical strategies that transfer easily to daily life.

She also draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, when past events keep causing strong reactions. EMDR in an online setting focuses on paced processing of distressing memories alongside supportive techniques to manage emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then suggest which method or combination to try. Together they adjust the pace and tools so the work fits the person’s preferences and comfort level.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and deeper work, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to continue care from varied locations.
