About Theresa
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania Licensed Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS 006223 L) with 26 years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, anger, depression, anxiety, ADHD, stress, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and related issues.
She has extensive experience working with children and adolescents in psychiatric hospital units and public schools. That background includes developing IEPs and 504 plans and working with diagnoses such as ADD, ODD, Tourette's, autism, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, and OCD. She draws on this experience when people have school or educational questions.
Her work in hospital and school systems gave her familiarity with how educational and medical settings interact. She can talk through school progress concerns and discuss options for individualized education plans. She has administered and interpreted many psychoeducational tests during her career, though in-person testing was noted as being on hold during the pandemic.
In private practice, she focuses on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan. She uses several clinical approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). These methods guide practical steps for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Theresa also pays attention to the wider stresses people face, such as pandemic impacts and financial strain. To begin, prospective clients follow the directory flow to view online therapy options, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work in online sessions
Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses through short experiments and homework. CBT focuses on concrete strategies for changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD symptoms.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and to practice accepting difficult feelings while committing to workable actions. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at patterns in relationships and to build more reliable ways of connecting with others.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.
