Background and approach

She also offers faith-based counseling when clients want that perspective. Her approach pulls from several evidence-informed methods to match what the person needs. That means using skills for managing strong emotions, looking at unhelpful thoughts, and creating short-term plans to stabilize difficult moments.

She listens first and then suggests simple, usable strategies. Theresa has long experience helping with parent stress, relationship concerns, workplace strain, mood shifts, and parenting weariness. She also supports people dealing with trauma, eating concerns, bipolar mood challenges, and life transitions.

Coaching around life purpose and self-love is part of her practice. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people outside the United States. Therapy can be done by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Starting is a short process that includes a matching questionnaire and scheduling to fit the person’s needs.

How Theresa’s Approaches Work Online

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in straightforward ways. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and helps people try different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood. DBT focuses on building skills to manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day coping for stress and relationship strain.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change. That approach is useful when someone feels stuck or unsure how to begin. Theresa treats finding the right approach as a team effort and will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or hands-free is needed, chat can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing short contact between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
