Background and approach
Teresa draws on techniques that help people manage overwhelming feelings and build steady routines. Teresa also works with concerns related to autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or dissociation. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and family-related struggles by helping them set clear goals and small, doable steps forward.
Her work often includes strategies from cognitive behavioral approaches and skills-based methods to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Hypnotherapy and mindfulness techniques may be used when they fit a person's preferences and goals. Teresa says the therapeutic plan is always tailored to what the individual needs that week.
People who choose her can expect a compassionate, respectful tone and a focus on practical progress. She encourages steady effort and celebrates small wins as clients build more stable days and clearer purpose.
Approaches that translate well to online care
Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT focuses on simple experiments and homework that fit well into online sessions and daily life.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. DBT-style skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions using phone or text check-ins.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is made. She explains options and helps set small steps to try out new skills.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video can be used for deeper conversation and skill coaching, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat make short check-ins or brief coaching easier. These choices give flexibility so therapy can fit into busy schedules and changing days.
