Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop from early relationships and explores how these patterns affect current intimacy, trust, and communication. This approach can be useful for relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical strategies for managing mood, anxiety, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and she may integrate techniques from different modalities to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule appointments around daily responsibilities and to receive consistent support when in-person visits are not feasible. Licensed professionals, including therapists, can deliver effective care through these formats while working with clients toward their goals.
