Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Teresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She often employs skills-based approaches for stress and anxiety that teach practical tools for managing overwhelming thoughts and emotions and improving day-to-day functioning. She also uses interpersonal and attachment-focused work to address relationship patterns, communication problems, and difficulties rooted in early connection experiences. Additionally, she offers grief-informed support to help people process loss and adapt to significant life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa collaborates with clients to determine which techniques best match their goals, preferences, and circumstances. She adjusts plans over time as needs evolve, working alongside clients to build resilience and clarify next steps.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in therapy, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions, while still allowing licensed professionals and therapists to provide consistent, focused support.
