Theresa Kasman

Theresa Kasman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with 15 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Theresa helps people who feel stuck or unsure about what comes next, including questions about life purpose and midlife transitions.

She works from a practical, person-focused stance that invites honest conversation. Sessions look at patterns that show up in relationships and in self-image, including attachment and family of origin issues. Theresa pays attention to how past experiences shape present choices and reactions.

Theresa uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities. She combines that with attachment-based ideas about how early bonds influence trust and closeness. Existential themes about meaning, responsibility, and choice also appear when people are rethinking work or life direction.

In sessions she helps people name what matters and test small changes. That can include working through control issues, communication problems, or caregiver stress. Theresa also addresses concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, divorce and separation, and substance use challenges.

People who come to her for life purpose work often start by clarifying values and practical next steps. Theresa supports planning and follow-through so people can try new ways of living and relating. She offers this work in English in New York.

How her approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in adult relationships. It helps when difficulties with trust, closeness, or abandonment repeat across relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and the person’s own expertise about their life. It helps people clarify priorities and feel heard while they consider next steps. Existential Therapy brings questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility into focus when people are rethinking work, roles, or life direction.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals, concerns, and preferences. Together they decide which ideas and practices to try and adjust them as needed based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity after a move or schedule change. It may also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require being on camera when that helps someone participate. The practical aim is to integrate therapy into everyday life so people can test changes and notice effects between sessions.
