Approaches that guide online sessions
Terri uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT offers concrete tools to manage intense feelings and to communicate more clearly under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Terri collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation from different places. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a brief check-in fits the day. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or for people who prefer typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
