Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to improve coping skills. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, client-centered method that strengthens a person’s own motivation to change and supports progress when someone feels stuck or ambivalent. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes practical steps and small, achievable goals to build momentum and move toward the changes a client wants to make.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques as therapy progresses to remain responsive to what is most helpful for the client.

Online sessions offer flexibility in how people connect - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules or to access care from different locations. These options support continuity of care and make it simpler to receive consistent therapeutic support from licensed professionals and therapists while managing everyday responsibilities.
