About Theresa
She adapts her approach to each person’s needs, pulling from several counseling methods to find what works best. Sessions typically emphasize concrete strategies, insight into patterns, and steps clients can practice between meetings. Theresa also supports people coping with trauma, grief, addiction, parenting pressures, ADHD, and career or self-esteem concerns.
Her background includes roles in social work, foster and adoptive services, special education support, early childhood teaching, and behavioral health case management. That variety shaped a practical style focused on real-life problem solving and family dynamics. She has experience with trauma, complex developmental needs, autism spectrum issues, and disruptive behaviors.
Theresa is a mother and a caregiver with experience hosting exchange students and working with diverse cultures. She brings a lived understanding of parenting stresses and blended-family dynamics. Two of her dogs are therapy animals that reflect her interest in supportive relationships and healing.
Theresa describes therapy as a collaborative process. She will guide, encourage, and sometimes challenge clients to notice patterns and try new habits. Prospective clients are encouraged to use the Start Therapy flow to complete a short questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care
Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to shape her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change daily reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small actions that align with what matters most, even when strong feelings are present.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa will work with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as concerns evolve or new challenges arise.
Her biography notes experience providing online telehealth; confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so work or family breaks are possible. Many clients find virtual meetings helpful for practicing thought and habit changes in real-life settings and for keeping momentum between sessions.
