Approaches That Translate to Online Care

Theresa integrates client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's experience and building a collaborative, empathetic relationship to support growth and self-direction. This approach is helpful for people seeking validation, improved self-esteem, and stronger interpersonal connections.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more adaptive patterns. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress management, and improving daily functioning.

Theresa may incorporate solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear goals and identify small, actionable steps toward change. This approach can be especially useful for clients who want concrete progress in a shorter timeframe.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy into work, family, and caregiving schedules. These options make it easier to access regular support from a licensed professional without extensive travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
