Background and approach
Sessions aim to help clients spot patterns, try small changes, and build skills that fit their daily life. With 15 years of clinical experience, Terese brings a broad background in counseling. She has supported people dealing with family of origin issues, blended family stress, addiction, and the aftermath of abuse or disaster.
Her work also covers abandonment and attachment concerns, codependency, and commitment or communication problems. Terese uses several approaches to shape treatment, including client-centered work and trauma-focused methods. She can incorporate motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and solution-focused ideas when those fit a person's goals.
The emphasis is on practical steps and collaborative planning. Terese practices in Colorado as an LPC and an LCPC. She offers sessions in English and focuses on helping people translate insights into everyday changes.
The intent is to make therapy useful, approachable, and aligned with what each person needs right now.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping the person lead the pace of change. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow a client's priorities and build on strengths in real time. EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories; when used online it involves structured processing and coordination between therapist and client to address traumatic material. Motivational interviewing is a short-term, change-focused method that helps clients resolve ambivalence and move toward goals; it works well by phone or video when someone needs to consider behavior changes like reducing substance use.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about problems, goals, and what feels comfortable. Together they pick methods and adjust them over time so sessions match the client's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, tracking progress, or checking in between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while keeping a consistent course of care.
