Background and approach
Theresa draws on several approaches so she can match methods to each person's concerns. Theresa often uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and change everyday habits. She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the person's goals and pace.
These methods help with mood, confidence, and managing stressors. When relationship patterns cause pain, she brings in ideas from emotionally-focused therapy to look at interaction styles and attachment-related worries. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another strand she uses to help people clarify values and take committed action despite hard feelings.
People who come to her can expect clear, respectful conversations and practical homework tasks between sessions. Theresa aims to help clients build steady coping skills and stronger self-understanding so they can move forward from difficult moments.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Theresa uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT gives straightforward tools for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress by changing patterns in thinking and action.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps even with difficult emotions present. ACT can be useful for building motivation and tolerance for tough feelings while moving toward meaningful goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss these methods with clients and decide together which ones fit best for their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative with clear options and agreed steps forward.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection and quick touchpoints. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep continuity between sessions.
