Therapeutic Approaches and Online Flexibility

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters most to them and take values-guided action. It emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It supports people working through relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and family dynamics by exploring emotional needs and healing relational wounds.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person as the expert in their own life and relies on empathy, acceptance, and active listening to help clients explore goals and make changes. It is well suited for people who want a collaborative, nonjudgmental space to process grief, stress, or identity-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to identify methods that fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to work consistently around schedules, geography, and day-to-day demands.
