Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions
Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s experience leads the work; this approach helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors to identify patterns that increase anxiety or depression and to practice different ways of coping and responding.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly about what is helping and adjusts the plan so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations when that is helpful, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, journaling-like exchanges, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
