Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on what the person needs right now. Her background includes school counseling, directing social services, and teaching as an adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her interest in supporting people during big changes, grief, and recovery from trauma or abusive relationships.
She also has experience addressing ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, eating and intimacy-related issues, and compassion fatigue. Theresa often uses client-centered techniques to follow the client’s lead and build trust. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when working through relationship-related feelings and attachment concerns. Theresa offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. She works in English and practices from Ohio.
To begin, a person completes a short questionnaire and schedules a session using the site’s Start Therapy flow.
How Therapeutic Approaches Work Online

This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people feel heard so they can choose the next step that feels right for them.She also often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thinking that cause stress and try small experiments to change behaviors and mood. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with focus or motivation.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Theresa approaches choices about techniques as a collaboration. Together they will try approaches that match the client’s goals and adjust if something isn’t helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit a busy life. Video lets visual connection support conversational work. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free conversation is needed. Live chat and text can be good for short check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options aim to make it simpler to keep therapy consistent and accessible.
