About Teresa
Teresa Velazquez Navarro is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns. Teresa aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about painful experiences and find practical ways forward.
She works in a straightforward way. Sessions begin by listening to what matters most to each person. Teresa helps identify immediate coping steps, and then looks at patterns that keep problems repeating.
Background and approach
She pays attention to how past attachments and current choices shape everyday life. Her approach draws on existential ideas about meaning and freedom alongside attachment-based thinking about relationships. Teresa also uses client-centered listening and skill-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when those fit the situation.
This mix helps with mood symptoms, relationship struggles, and challenges like guilt or shame. People come to address a range of concerns such as abandonment worries, communication problems, body image, caregiving stress, or feelings of isolation. Teresa offers practical strategies for impulsivity, control issues, and decision points like divorce or midlife shifts.
She emphasizes collaboration and steady support. Teresa helps clients set reachable goals and practices simple skills between sessions. The aim is clearer choices, calmer responses, and more confidence moving forward.

Online support
How Therapeutic Approaches Translate to Online Care
Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, choice, and the questions people face about purpose. It helps when someone feels stuck, lost, or unsure about life direction by encouraging honest reflection and clearer decisions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people notice patterns in relating, improve communication, and build more supported ways of connecting with others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will listen to each person's goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. She treats this as a collaboration and adjusts the plan as the client learns what helps most.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let conversations feel close to an in-person visit while keeping travel time low. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good option for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short, flexible communication during a busy week or between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to practice new skills in real-world moments.
