About Theresa
Theresa Revans-McMenimon is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of experience. She helps people handle stress, anxiety, career shifts, parenting strain, and relationship worries. Theresa focuses on clear communication so people can understand their own needs and connect better with others.
She encourages honest self-reflection as a first step. Clients talk through what they want versus what they need. That clarity makes conversations with partners and family less reactive and more constructive.
Theresa uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused work to set practical next steps. Narrative techniques help people reframe difficult stories about themselves and their relationships.
Her background includes LEND training through the Westchester Institute for Human Development and New York Medical College, with work in special needs, transitions, and college and career planning. She developed a Transition Boot Camp that was featured in regional publications.
Theresa works with individuals, couples, and families on communication, parenting skills, and coping with life changes. She reviews referrals carefully and may recommend another counselor when it better serves a person’s needs.
How Theresa's Approaches Translate to Online Care
Theresa uses client-centered work that follows each person’s pace, helping people speak about what matters and build skills from there. This approach is useful for addressing stress, relationship conflict, and parenting concerns because it keeps the focus on the client’s priorities.She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who want change. That method helps clarify motivation and break larger goals into manageable steps. Solution-focused therapy helps create short-term, practical plans so a person can try new behaviors and notice small improvements quickly.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa collaborates with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She reviews progress and adjusts plans as needed so work stays relevant and achievable.
