Teddi Plummer , LPCC

Teddi Plummer is an empathic Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who offers encouragement and practical support to help people restore hope and work toward meaningful change. Clients frequently report that she is a therapist who cares, and she is respectful of the diverse spiritual beliefs clients bring to the therapy process. Plummer is supportive of clients who view faith or spirituality as a resource in recovery and integrates those values when appropriate and welcomed.

She has provided care to both adults and youth presenting with a broad range of concerns, including schizophrenia with auditory and visual hallucinations, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, severe depression, trauma and PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks, personality disorders, self-harm such as cutting, and dual diagnosis. She has also worked with co-occurring substance use and behavioral addictions and is a certified SMART Recovery Facilitator. Her clinical background includes assessment, diagnosis, crisis counseling, and work in emergency room crisis settings assisting clients with mild to acute suicidal ideation.

Plummer has co-counseled Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups and holds DBT training certificates. She has facilitated anger management and batterers intervention groups, served as a certified Nurturing Parenting Facilitator with more than two years leading parenting groups, and led behavioral and substance addiction groups for at-risk youth and adults. She brings experience with both severe mental illness and mild to moderate challenges and relies on evidence-based approaches - including DBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, and Motivational Interviewing - to tailor interventions to each person. Plummer also has a background in faith-based community work, including 13 years teaching children’s church, four years leading youth and young adult groups, and one year providing volunteer Christian counseling under pastoral supervision, which informs her respectful approach to clients who value spirituality.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, guiding clients to take values-based action even when difficult emotions arise - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to reduce impulsive or self-harming behaviors and improve relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact and uses practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that maintain problems.

Teddi Plummer approaches treatment collaboratively and will work with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the therapy process and is adjusted as clients progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to connect from home or other convenient locations and choose formats that match their schedules and communication styles. Licensed professionals can deliver many evidence-based interventions effectively via these remote options while tailoring session frequency and methods to individual circumstances.
