About Theresa

Theresa Revans-McMenimon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Her manner is direct and practical, focused on clearer communication and better day-to-day coping.

Theresa asks clients to start with honest self-reflection about needs and wants. That clarity makes conversations calmer and more purposeful. She guides people to speak and listen with more respect, and to try small changes that can shift family and partner interactions.

Background and approach

Her work draws on Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered methods, so stories about a person’s life and their personal goals are central. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy help strengthen motivation and identify immediate steps forward. Sessions aim to be concrete and doable rather than abstract.

Theresa has worked with issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family transitions, divorce and separation, and young adult challenges. She also supports people facing workplace stress, money problems, midlife shifts, and struggles with self-esteem or addiction. Based in New York, Theresa practices as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

She offers different session formats to suit practical needs, and she will recommend another provider when a different approach is likely to be more helpful.

How narrative and client-centered work online

Theresa uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps identify unhelpful patterns and opens space for new meanings, which can ease relationship and identity concerns. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's goals and experience at the center, offering acceptance and listening to support self-directed change.

She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to clarify goals and boost readiness for change, and Solution-Focused ideas to set clear, short-term steps. Theresa will talk with each person about which approaches match their goals. Deciding together what to try is part of the work, and adjustments are made as progress and preferences become clearer.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a faster check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on clear communication and practical steps.
