About Terese

Terese Fagan is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Connecticut. She brings 11 years of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions. Terese believes people already carry strengths they can use to make meaningful change, and she focuses on helping them access those strengths.

Her style is calm and person-centered. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set clear, doable steps forward.

Background and approach

Common topics include self-esteem, parenting concerns, grief, career stress, and coping after trauma or loss. Terese uses a mix of therapeutic ideas to match each person’s needs. That can mean exploring values and meaning, practicing skills to manage thoughts and behaviors, or building present-focused awareness.

She combines these tools so the work fits everyday life rather than feeling abstract. Clients can expect straightforward conversation and collaborative planning. Terese helps people sort priorities, try small experiments between sessions, and notice what helps and what gets in the way.

She encourages realistic goals and steady progress instead of quick fixes. People seeking help for addiction-related struggles, compassion fatigue, attachment wounds, body image, or family-of-origin issues will find a practical, respectful approach. Terese supports those coping with divorce, caregiving stress, aging concerns, or feelings of emptiness as well.

Her practice emphasizes clarity, consistent effort, and compassion. She aims to make therapy useful and understandable so people can make decisions that fit their lives.

Approach and Online Care That Fits Your Life

Existential Therapy helps people face questions about meaning, purpose, and choice. It invites reflection on values and helps people decide what matters most when life feels uncertain.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, combines acceptance strategies with values-based action. It helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and take steps toward a life they care about. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and creating a supportive space where people can name goals and work at their own pace.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Terese will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions about focus and methods are made collaboratively so the plan fits individual priorities.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work well for brief check-ins or when scheduling is tight. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
