How Theresa’s Methods Work Online
Theresa often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, and mood problems because it focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which teaches noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that align with personal values. ACT can help people who feel stuck by encouraging small, values-based moves rather than waiting to feel better first.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try methods that seem likely to help. She adjusts techniques based on how well they fit and what the person finds useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat and text let people check in with shorter messages or use writing as a way to process thoughts. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions and keep work going between meetings.
