About Pamela "Pam" Theisen
Pamela "Pam" Theisen is an independent consultant and counselor with 30 years of experience in health care, counseling, and coaching. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan in 1983 and holds an LMSW, which is a Licensed Master Social Worker credential that indicates advanced professional training in social work. Over the course of her career she has supported thousands of people facing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, workplace and career challenges, and end-of-life and hospice-related issues.
Pam approaches her work with practical, solution-oriented methods, believing that brief, focused counseling can often produce meaningful change. She emphasizes helping clients look at situations from different angles so they can identify options and opportunities, and she adapts her approach to each person's unique needs rather than assuming a single path fits everyone. Her practice addresses both common life stresses and more complex issues such as caregiver strain, codependency, intimacy-related struggles, and compassion fatigue.
Clients benefit from her blend of empathy and pragmatism - she strives to create a comfortable, supportive atmosphere while helping people take actionable steps toward their goals. Pamela values doing her very best for each individual she works with and welcomes inquiries from those who feel she might be a fit for their needs.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care
Pamela integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused techniques into her online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, creating a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide the pace and focus of sessions - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and strengthening relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; it provides practical tools to address anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thinking patterns and developing new coping strategies. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and concrete steps toward preferred outcomes, making it especially effective for clients seeking short-term, goal-oriented progress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pamela works collaboratively with each person to determine what combination of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the plan as progress unfolds so the work remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. This range of options helps maintain continuity of care and makes it easier to receive support from licensed professionals without major disruptions to daily life.
