Background and approach
Her background includes work with military populations and veterans, which informs how she understands trauma and transition. Her approach is practical and person-focused. Teresa uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills and change unhelpful patterns.
She also draws on client-centered methods to keep conversations grounded in each person’s values. For those coping with traumatic memories, Teresa incorporates EMDR techniques alongside talk-based strategies when appropriate. She aims to make sessions feel like a team effort, with clear steps and homework when useful to build new habits between meetings.
Teresa emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She helps people set realistic goals and track progress over time. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she focuses on practical ways to move forward.
Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts without fighting them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and managing life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns with practical exercises and homework that build new habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. EMDR addresses traumatic memories by pairing focused recall with guided eye movements or other bilateral stimulation to reduce emotional intensity and improve coping for trauma survivors.Finding the best approach is a team effort. Teresa will work with each person to try methods that fit their needs and preferences and adjust plans based on what helps most. She frames the process as collaborative and goal-oriented, so people can track small improvements over time.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for longer discussions and skills practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can support short check-ins or quick coping plans between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping treatment consistent.
