Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low self esteem, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which is helpful for depression, anxiety, and sleep issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the person's lead to build insight and confidence.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She adapts methods over time so the plan stays useful and realistic for the person she is meeting with.
