Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Teresa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to tailor care to each person. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping clients feel heard while they explore values, relationships, and emotional needs. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT offers practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Teresa treats it as a collaborative effort. She will work with each client to identify goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what proves most helpful for the individual’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into a busy schedule while working together toward practical, lasting change.
