Online Approaches and Practical Support

Teresa commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and build psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration to create a respectful therapeutic relationship.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist partners with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, and adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping most.

Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access for different schedules and communication styles. These options allow clients to participate from home or other convenient locations, making it easier to maintain regular sessions and integrate therapeutic tools into daily life.
