She guides clients to take responsibility for change while acknowledging limitations and competing demands.

She is also respectful of varied values and will shape sessions to fit each person’s goals and preferences.
Common concerns she addresses include coping with major life changes, family-related stress, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, intimacy questions, parenting strain, career or workplace issues, and ADHD-related struggles. Teri works with these topics through clear, actionable steps and regular check-ins on progress.

How practical approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps people clarify what matters most to them, which can be useful for anxiety, grief, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It offers concrete exercises for anxiety, stress, and low mood that people can practice between sessions.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, immediate changes and clear goals. It helps people notice what already works and build quick steps toward preferred outcomes, which can be helpful for workplace issues, communication problems, and coping with change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. This means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit into a busy day with less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging work well for frequent brief check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into real life.
