Approaches that guide online care

Teresa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility - an approach often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore early relationship patterns and improve connection and communication in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms of stress, trauma-related responses, and mood concerns.

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 tailors interventions and adjusts techniques over time so therapy remains responsive and goal-oriented.

Online sessions with Teresa are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to engage in consistent care from home or other convenient locations, maintain momentum between appointments, and access support in a way that aligns with each client’s life and needs.
