Teresa Stump-Klinger

Teresa Stump-Klinger is a Pennsylvania Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 3 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family tensions, parenting strains, low self-esteem, grief, and life changes. She also offers coaching and support for compassion fatigue and life purpose concerns.

Her approach is straightforward and interactive. She focuses on a person's strengths and uses practical methods people can try between sessions. Conversations are conversational and action-oriented, with room for reflection and practical steps people can use at home.

Teresa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. That mix lets her combine talking, skills practice, and goal-focused work depending on what a person needs. She includes experiential elements so sessions feel active rather than only talk.

She has worked with concerns tied to aging and caregiver stress, fatherhood issues, veterans and armed forces topics, and money worries. Those areas appear alongside more common issues like communication and family problems. The practice is offered in English and she accepts international clients.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking.

How Teresa blends approaches for online sessions

Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to focus on a person's perspective and priorities. That approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and shaping sessions around what matters most to the client, which can help when someone feels unsure about next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical and skill-focused, useful for stress, anxiety, and problems that respond to concrete exercises and behavioral experiments.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are part of her toolkit for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication strategies. These skills can be helpful for people learning how to manage strong feelings or improve strained relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will talk with clients about goals and preferences and then test what helps most. That collaborative process can shift as priorities change over time.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Many people choose online sessions to fit therapy into busy schedules, to have shorter check-ins, or to avoid travel time. If you need to coordinate sessions around work, caregiving, or other commitments, discuss those needs when you complete the matching questionnaire and schedule the first appointment.
