About Teresa

Teresa also supports people managing sleep or eating disruptions, attention differences, and life transitions. Her work includes attention to compassion fatigue and challenges that come with caregiving and aging.
Teresa draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered listening and mindfulness practices. She includes skills from dialectical behavior approaches and emotionally-focused work when helpful. Together with each person she develops a plan that fits their needs and daily life.
Her style is direct but warm. Teresa invites people to name what feels hard, try small changes, and track progress between sessions. Many clients come wanting more balance, clearer thinking, or better ways to cope with stress and change.

How her approaches translate to online care
Teresa uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits. CBT involves identifying thoughts that lead to stress, testing them with real-life experiments, and practicing new responses to reduce anxiety and down mood. It is often useful for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and depressive symptoms.She also draws on client-centered therapy, which means listening closely and shaping sessions around the person's priorities. This approach helps people feel heard and to set their own goals, whether the focus is on relationships, grief, or coping with life changes. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness can be added to teach emotion regulation, stress tolerance, and present-moment awareness when needed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and pace. She checks in regularly to adjust skills and homework so the plan stays useful and realistic.
