About Tressa

Tressa Henson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and life changes. She works with clients on relationship and family concerns, parenting and fatherhood issues, career and money worries, and challenges tied to trauma, chronic illness, or aging. Tressa also lists focus on men’s issues and life purpose among her areas of work.

She uses straightforward talk and practical tools to help people manage feelings and make change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused strategies are among the approaches she draws on.

With 17 years of experience, Tressa brings steady presence and a nonjudgmental style. She describes her approach as holistic and respectful, combining counseling and coaching to support goal-setting and self-empowerment. Her training is reflected in the LPC credential she holds.

How these approaches can work online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and anger by setting small, testable goals and practicing different responses.

Mindfulness Therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices. It can reduce reactivity to stress and help people cope with chronic pain, grief, or ongoing worry by teaching short attention exercises and grounding techniques.

Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It is useful when someone feels stuck about career choices, health behaviors, or making life changes and uses guided conversation to build motivation.

Tressa views finding the right approach as a team effort. She will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time based on what works best.

The practical benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy day and using shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps them keep momentum between sessions and apply skills directly in daily routines.
