Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at day-to-day improvements as well as longer-term insight. Theresa has a personal connection to adoption and pays attention to how that history can shape identity and relationships. She has also supported birth mothers who surrendered children and women dealing with abortion-related concerns.
Those experiences inform her sensitivity around loss and difficult choices. Her work draws on practical techniques and deeper exploration of life history. Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and psychodynamic ideas to understand patterns rooted in early relationships.
She adapts these approaches to each person’s goals. Theresa speaks English and Spanish and has many years helping people through transitions, midlife changes, and family of origin wounds. She aims to empower people to take concrete steps toward clearer communication, better boundaries, and less shame.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Theresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and low mood.She also draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that began in early relationships. That approach helps when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties in relationships, attachment, or family of origin issues.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Theresa will work with each person to match techniques to their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts sessions over time as progress and priorities change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls support face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or days when typing feels easier. These options increase flexibility and help people maintain consistency in their care.
