Therapeutic approaches for online care

Theresa commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathetic, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore feelings and values while building self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a skills-oriented approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

She also incorporates mindfulness techniques to help clients increase present-moment awareness and manage emotional reactivity. These approaches are selected collaboratively - Theresa works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without requiring travel, and they allow therapy to continue through life transitions and busy routines.
