Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the pace and focus of sessions while the therapist reflects and clarifies to deepen understanding. This approach is helpful for those seeking a collaborative space to explore personal goals and values.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. CBT is often useful for addressing anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

Teresa integrates Motivational Interviewing techniques to strengthen a person’s own motivation for change, especially when ambivalence or low motivation is present. This method supports clearer decision making and gradual steps toward goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility to meet when and how it suits the client, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
