How Teresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Teresa uses client-centered therapy to follow what matters most to each person, offering a space where the client's priorities guide the sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to help identify thought and behavior patterns and to practice small changes that reduce stress and anxiety. For people affected by traumatic memories, she includes work aimed at reducing the intensity of those memories and the distress they cause.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are common as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and remove travel time. It can also let someone continue care while living in another state or country. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so clients can practice skills between meetings.
