Theresa Kasman, LMHC

Theresa Kasman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who draws on 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Theresa aims to help people clarify what they want so they can take practical next steps.

Theresa uses a straightforward, supportive style in sessions. She creates an open-minded, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through worries and make plans. Conversations often focus on noticing patterns, building motivation, and testing small changes that fit day-to-day life.

Her work includes attention to attachment concerns and how early relationships shape current patterns. Theresa also addresses practical issues such as communication problems, control issues, and caregiver strain. She helps people sort through family of origin dynamics and the emotional fallout from divorce or separation.

Theresa supports people facing substance use and addictive behaviors by focusing on realistic steps and stronger coping skills. She also works with concerns about body image, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. Midlife crisis and women’s issues are named areas of focus, approached with practical problem solving and reflection.

Theresa uses client-centered and existential ideas to keep goals grounded in each person’s values. Her approach aims to help people gain clarity and then act in ways that match their priorities. The result is a plan that feels doable and aligned with what matters most.

How Theresa's Approaches Inform Online Work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect, react, and seek support in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and choices, offering empathic listening and collaboration to find what feels right. Existential Therapy focuses on meaning, values, and decisions when life feels uncertain or empty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest which ideas to emphasize. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the therapist's available session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins on a workday. It can also let someone show up without dressing for an in-person visit or make sessions possible when clinic travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions while collaborating on goals and practical next steps.
