How Teresa's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Theresa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy is also part of her work, focusing on values and small, committed actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life.
She views therapy as a collaborative process. Early sessions focus on understanding goals, daily routines, and obstacles. Together the client and therapist decide which methods fit best and adjust the plan as needed over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy weeks. It can make regular check-ins simpler when someone needs brief skill practice or follow-up between in-person visits. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings will be conducted.
