Terese Jeppson

Terese Jeppson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Colorado with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, depression, and life purpose concerns. Her approach is practical and direct, focusing on what clients need right now. Terese uses an integrated, client-centered style. She listens first, then helps people set concrete goals. Sessions often include techniques from solution-focused work and narrative methods to clarify patterns and identify next steps. For trauma-related concerns she may incorporate EMDR elements to address painful memories alongside motivational interviewing when people are ready to change addictive behaviors. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about coping skills, communication, and problem-solving. Terese helps people name what feels stuck and tries small, repeatable changes to test what works. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment or abandonment wounds, and patterns like codependency that make relationships harder. Over time the work may shift toward career and life-purpose questions. Terese supports practical planning around work transitions, parenting demands, or caregiver stress. She also addresses immigration-related strain, compassion fatigue, and recovery from natural or human-caused disasters. Her practice favors clear steps over jargon. Terese encourages honest talk about emotions, examines behavior patterns, and helps people build everyday strategies for coping and decision-making.

How Terese’s approaches translate to remote sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the client. In practice this means sessions start with open conversation about current struggles and goals, then the therapist helps prioritize what to work on next. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-informed method that helps reduce the intensity of painful memories. When used in session it involves guided processing of upsetting memories alongside grounding techniques to manage strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing helps when change feels difficult or uncertain. It uses focused questions and reflection to strengthen a person’s own reasons for change, which can be helpful for addictions, health behavior, and goal commitment. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terese will discuss options and collaboratively decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as progress and comfort levels become clearer. Confirm the available session formats before you book, as the biography did not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It can also allow people to continue steady work during life transitions when attending in-person sessions would be difficult.
