Teresa Maguire , LCSW-R

Teresa Maguire is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of professional experience who works with adults facing addictions, trauma, relationship challenges, and depression. She holds the LCSW-R credential, a license for clinical social work that authorizes her to provide psychotherapy and clinical services. Teresa brings sensitivity and respect to her work and focuses on creating individualized treatment plans that reflect each person's specific needs and circumstances.

Her practice addresses a range of concerns including addiction recovery, LGBTQ matters, relationship and attachment issues, and the emotional impact of abuse and sexual assault. She also works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, body image, gender dysphoria, women's concerns, and the difficulties young adults often face. Teresa emphasizes tailoring discussion and interventions to fit the client rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Recognizing that seeking change takes courage, she adopts a compassionate stance intended to support people as they move toward a more fulfilling life. Throughout her career Teresa has combined evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a collaborative, client-centered manner to help clients build coping skills and healthier relational patterns.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa Maguire draws on evidence-based approaches that are well suited to the concerns she treats. She uses trauma-informed methods that focus on understanding the impact of past harm, helping clients build safety, emotion regulation, and coping strategies so they can process traumatic experiences at a manageable pace. She also applies addiction-focused behavioral strategies that help people identify triggers, develop healthier coping skills, and work toward sustained recovery through structured behavioral change and relapse prevention techniques. In addition, Teresa uses relational and attachment-focused work to explore patterns in relationships, address abandonment and codependency concerns, and support healthier connections with partners and family.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa collaborates with each person to identify which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so treatment stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy with Teresa includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals and help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
