Teresa has experience working with issues tied to aging, hospice and end-of-life counseling, fertility, and fatherhood concerns. Teresa draws on a background that includes a master’s degree and many years helping people with relationship difficulties. She writes and teaches about marriage and family topics and uses that practical experience in her counseling.
Conversations in sessions are direct, calm, and focused on small steps that lead to better days. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Teresa welcomes international clients and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How CBT and Gottman Work Online
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and changing patterns that keep problems going. The Gottman Method focuses on communication, conflict skills, and rebuilding trust and intimacy in relationships. It helps partners learn concrete ways to argue less harmfully and connect more often.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest whether CBT, Gottman work, or a mix will be most useful. Together the client and therapist decide what to try and check progress as they go.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. Video allows face-to-face conversation for communication work, phone can be a shorter check-in or easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging works well for brief updates and ongoing support. These options help people keep momentum and make counseling accessible across different schedules and locations.
