Background and approach
Theresa draws from cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment strategies, and solution-focused methods to create a plan together. Theresa favors short-term work that sets clear goals. She checks progress along the way so people can see change.
Sessions often focus on skills to manage anxiety, cope with grief, rebuild confidence, or improve communication in close relationships. She has experience supporting people who face trauma and abuse, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, blended family dynamics, and veteran or armed forces issues. Theresa also helps with career strain, anger, and seasonal mood shifts.
Theresa aims to be an empathetic listener who offers practical tools. She encourages a collaborative process where the person’s values and goals guide the work. If the match feels right, she helps set achievable steps toward clearer days.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Theresa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that align with those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without getting controlled by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa treats the choice of method as collaborative. She will discuss goals, preferences and the challenges you bring, and then try techniques that fit your situation. Progress is reviewed along the way so adjustments can be made if something isn’t helping.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into real life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide flexibility for brief updates, skill practice between sessions, or for people who prefer writing. These options help people access consistent support from licensed professionals while balancing daily demands.
