Practical approaches used in online sessions
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice different responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and goal-focused behavior change. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice painful feelings without getting stuck in them and to clarify personal values for action. ACT can be helpful for persistent worry, low motivation, and life transitions.She brings attachment-informed ideas into sessions to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds shape reactions now. Attachment work helps with intimacy issues, commitment struggles, and repeated relational cycles. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work; Teresa will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences rather than assuming one method fits all.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving by cutting travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It also reduces the need to arrange outside transport and can make follow-up practical when life gets busy. Licensed professionals adapt tools and homework so clients can try new skills between sessions and measure progress over time.
