Teresa Walton-Skinner, LPC

Teresa Walton-Skinner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting stress, anger, ADHD, and life transitions. Teresa keeps her approach simple and human. She focuses on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Her style is warm and interactive. She listens without judging and treats people with respect and compassion. Teresa combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and she also uses Solution-Focused Therapy tools to set clear goals and small steps toward change.

Sessions are built around what the client needs right now. Teresa tailors conversations and plans to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all script. She aims to make therapy feel like a teamwork process where clients help set the pace and priorities.

Her background includes four years working in counseling roles that involved service delivery and program development. That experience exposed her to a wide range of concerns across different settings. Teresa draws on that variety to offer flexible, realistic strategies for coping and growth.

People who choose Teresa often want straightforward help with mood, stress, communication, or parenting challenges. She supports practical problem solving, skill building, and clearer thinking so clients can move toward a more manageable day-to-day life.

How Teresa’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's experience, with the therapist listening closely and helping people name what matters to them. This approach is useful for improving self-esteem, processing grief, and finding clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers practical strategies to change them; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching coping skills and experiments to test new ways of thinking. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable goals and steps forward, which can be useful when someone wants quick, concrete progress on specific problems.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts sessions over time as goals change and new issues come up, so the plan can evolve in a way that fits each person.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the therapist's current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use resources from home between sessions. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, and Teresa tailors her techniques to fit the online setting.
