Theresa Bishop , LPC

Theresa Bishop is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania with a decade of clinical experience and a graduate degree in professional counseling from Carlow University. She has worked extensively with people facing addictions, trauma, loss, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, difficulties with acceptance, and problems related to anger, drawing on a wide range of therapeutic tools to meet each person where they are.

Her approach is adaptable and centered on what will help the individual client. She combines motivational interviewing, solution-focused techniques, psychoeducation, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and traditional psychotherapy depending on the goals and needs presented. Theresa emphasizes attentive listening and a steady, objective stance that supports clients as they explore possibilities for change, develop concrete steps, and build skills to address challenges.

Theresa frames therapy as a collaborative process rather than a quick fix. She acknowledges that real change often comes from consistent effort and a willingness to engage in the work, and she welcomes those who are ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa Bishop integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful actions - it can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and unconditional positive regard, creating a supportive space for exploring relationship issues, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical, structured strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, sleep problems, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to tailor methods to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and stay connected from different locations while working with therapists who can provide consistent clinical support.
