Online Therapeutic Approaches and Care

Theresa integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) into her online practice. ACT helps clients clarify their values and commit to meaningful action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. EFT centers on emotional experience and attachment patterns, making it especially helpful for relationship concerns and deepening emotional connection.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with clients to assess goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, then adapts techniques from these models to create a tailored plan that fits each person’s needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options allow clients to engage with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels while keeping therapeutic work consistent and focused.
