Practical approaches for online care and skill building
Theresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavior ideas in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral work focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior ideas emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and reactions.She treats approach selection as a conversation. Theresa will listen to your goals and try different tools to find what feels most useful. The plan can change over time, and she encourages feedback so the work stays practical and relevant to your everyday life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit varied schedules and needs. Video calls are useful for in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use skills in real time and keep therapy consistent despite a busy life.
