Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Teresa commonly uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy when helping people online. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the person’s priorities and experiences, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, actions, and feelings and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety, anger, or depression.She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy for people needing emotion regulation tools and skills for handling intense feelings. DBT provides step-by-step coping practices for managing strong emotions and improving relationships. Choosing which approach to use is part of the process and is decided together based on needs and goals.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Teresa will work with each client to try techniques and adjust the plan over time. The aim is to match methods to the person’s goals and daily routine rather than use a fixed mix of techniques.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily commitments.
