How Teressa’s Approaches Work Online
Teressa uses client-centered work to prioritize what matters most to each person. That approach focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what is heard, so clients feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and actions influence mood and behavior and offers practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy brings simple attention practices into sessions to help reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Teressa will talk with each client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they monitor what helps and adjust the plan over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face work and visual cues, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or an easier option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact, quick reflections, and brief exercises between appointments. These options give flexibility so people can use the format that best matches their schedule and comfort.
