Approaches that guide online work and thought-focused change
Teresa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience and goals, helping them feel heard and respected while they sort through what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and to try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or lift mood. Existential therapy helps when people face big life questions, grief, or a sense of meaninglessness and want to make purposeful choices.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and decide together which methods to try. She aims to make therapy a collaborative effort where the client’s priorities shape the work.
Session format options are not listed here, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people meet from a quieter spot. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep progress steady while focusing on changing thoughts and everyday habits.
