How Teresa Uses Emotion-Focused and Client-Centered Methods Online
Teresa draws on client-centered therapy to make the session about the person's goals and experience. This approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide their next steps. It is helpful for anxiety, self-esteem, and when someone needs a steady, accepting listener.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and work with strong feelings that influence relationships and daily life. EFT-style techniques can make it easier to identify patterns that keep someone stuck and to practice new ways of responding to intense emotion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will collaborate with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single path. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as progress and comfort evolve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and deeper emotional work. Phone calls can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or for easier scheduling. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and continue care when travel or scheduling would otherwise get in the way.
