Therapeutic approaches available online and what they do
Theresa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that worsen anxiety or low mood. CBT focuses on practical skills and experiments that can reduce worry and improve daily functioning.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings are present. ACT teaches ways to make room for hard emotions while building a life that feels worthwhile.
Theresa approaches online work as a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend which approach or combination feels most useful. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and hands-on skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
