About Teresa Syversen

Teresa Syversen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing on the Oregon Coast with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She works with a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship and family challenges, parenting issues, addictions, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and coping with life changes. Her long tenure in behavioral health and addictions care gives her a wide perspective on how these concerns overlap and affect daily functioning.

Her therapeutic style is warm and interactive, grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She combines cognitive-behavioral methods, humanistic principles, psychodynamic insight, and rational-emotive techniques to shape conversations and treatment plans that reflect each person’s needs. That blend allows her to address thought patterns, emotional wounds, interpersonal dynamics, and practical coping skills in ways that fit the individual.

Teresa emphasizes collaboration, tailoring dialogue and interventions to the goals and preferences of the person she is working with. She frames change as a courageous process and seeks to support and empower clients as they take steps toward greater well-being. As a licensed clinician in Oregon, she draws on two decades of experience to guide care with skill and empathy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care



Teresa uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client's experience and goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, and is helpful for building self-awareness, improving relationships, and navigating life transitions.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical approach that focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and managing mood and coping skills.

For those affected by past harm, Trauma-Focused Therapy offers approaches tailored to processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. It aims to help people regain a sense of safety and develop practical strategies for managing triggers and symptoms.

Finding the right combination of methods is part of the therapeutic process; the therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a personalized plan that can evolve over time.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are impractical. These options support consistent access to therapy while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
