Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa Ewing draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. DBT emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and building distress tolerance, which can be helpful for anger, relationship struggles, and strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they develop a plan that blends practical strategies and skills practice so progress is tailored and achievable.

Online therapy with Theresa can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home or on the go, and fit care into busy lives while working with licensed professionals and therapists to address meaningful concerns.
