Theresa Huffines

Theresa Huffines is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Florida. She holds LCSW-C (Maryland) and LCSW (Florida) credentials and brings eight years of experience to her work. Theresa focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and career concerns. Her approach starts with listening to what matters most to each person. She uses client-centered and solution-focused methods to help people set goals and try small steps that can feel doable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness techniques are part of her toolbox for addressing anxious thoughts, mood shifts, and everyday coping skills. Theresa's background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a Master of Social Work. She has worked in cancer care settings, university counseling, substance-abuse outreach, therapeutic foster care case management, and outpatient mental health. She has also supervised agency sites and worked on services for military families. In sessions she helps people clarify decisions, build life skills, and improve emotional regulation. She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common themes in her work. Theresa stays connected to community partners to help people find resources beyond therapy. She emphasizes steady progress over time, and she helps clients discover next steps that fit their daily life. If career questions are part of someone’s concerns, she brings that into the same goal-focused process.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and meeting people where they are. Online sessions using this approach focus on the client's priorities and build a plan from their strengths and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; online work can use structured exercises and homework to practice new skills between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit those aims. Together they check progress and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Session options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support consistent weekly work on stress, mood, relationships, or career questions without asking someone to rearrange their whole day.
