About Teresa
Teresa Longo is a licensed mental health counselor in New York with 20 years of experience. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship tension, addiction, trauma and grief. She also works with issues that affect men’s wellbeing and helps people who are navigating major life changes or career strain.
Teresa aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken aloud. She emphasizes listening first and helping people name what matters to them. Teresa encourages clients to take small, practical steps toward clearer goals and healthier routines.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and existential perspectives. That means she supports people in understanding their thinking patterns, while also discussing meaning, choice, and what matters in daily life. Sessions can include talking through stress, trying new ways to handle anger, or planning concrete strategies for managing mood and focus.
Teresa brings two decades of practice to each meeting, and she frames hope as a motivating force rather than escape. She aims to help clients move away from situations that feel stuck and toward ways of living that feel more sustainable. Her style is steady, direct, and compassionate.
For people who are anxious about starting therapy, she stresses that taking the first step shows courage. Prospective clients are invited to consider whether her straightforward, supportive approach feels like a fit before scheduling.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Existential Therapy addresses questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility, helping people clarify what matters and how they want to live.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will discuss goals and preferences with each person and will collaborate to choose methods that fit those aims. That could mean leaning on cognitive tools for mood management or using exploratory conversations to address questions of purpose and values.
