Background and approach
That mix shaped her interest in transitions, trauma recovery, and supporting people through major life changes. Theresa often helps with anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, grief, and challenges tied to ADHD and the autism spectrum. Theresa uses approaches that center the client's experience and teach skills to manage difficult thoughts and feelings.
She blends client-centered listening with practical cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to help people understand patterns and try different responses. Sessions emphasize clear, achievable goals and steps people can use between meetings. Her work also addresses relationship strain, intimacy concerns, self-esteem struggles, and issues that follow trauma or loss.
She has experience with first responder and veteran-related issues, adoption and foster care topics, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Theresa is comfortable supporting people who identify as LGBT and those facing compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conducted in English and organized through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Theresa offers several approachable methods that translate well to online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead so they feel heard and understood; this helps when someone needs space to process trauma or major life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing ADHD-related challenges. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and naming emotions and how they shape reactions, which can help with intimacy issues and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Theresa works together with each person to pick or combine methods based on their goals, day-to-day demands, and what feels most comfortable. She regularly reviews progress and adjusts techniques so sessions stay relevant and practical.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice skills consistently.
