Theresa Kibbe, LPC

Theresa Kibbe is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina who helps people facing addictions, trauma, eating concerns, anxiety, depression, and related struggles. She encourages clients to build on their strengths and take steady steps toward change. Theresa affirms that starting therapy is a brave choice and aims to make the first steps easier to take.

With 21 years of experience, Theresa uses practical ways to address problems. Sessions focus on clear goals, and she helps clients learn skills they can use between appointments. She explains approaches simply and works at a pace that fits each person.

Theresa draws on several clinical approaches to guide work in the room. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is used for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. Somatic therapy looks at how stress and trauma show up in the body and teaches grounding and body-based regulation skills.

She often supports people struggling with substance use, codependency, family of origin issues, body image, grief, and the stress of caregiving. Theresa also addresses anger, commitment and communication problems, and the effects of domestic violence.

Theresa keeps language plain and avoids jargon. She treats each client as the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to set clear, realistic steps. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will connect you with therapy that fits your needs.

How Theresa Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Theresa uses approaches that focus on both thoughts and the body. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day challenges.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process traumatic memories. EMDR aims to reduce the hold of painful memories so daily life feels less overwhelming. Somatic therapy is another tool she uses to notice how stress shows up in the body and to learn grounding and regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try together. That lets the therapist and client adjust methods as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and reduce travel. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that don’t require being on camera, depending on the format offered.
