As an LCSW she holds a clinical social work license to provide therapeutic services and applies evidence-informed techniques in ways that meet each person where they are.

She emphasizes a collaborative approach, partnering with clients to set clear goals and create step-by-step plans to reach them. Theresa cares about the people she serves and aims to reduce isolation by working together through life’s challenges. She welcomes conversations with individuals and families seeking practical support and compassionate guidance.

CBT and DBT approaches offered through online therapy

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood-related concerns. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors in ways that lead to clearer problem solving and improved daily functioning.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT can be useful for people dealing with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, or patterns of reactivity that interfere with goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made so the work feels practical and manageable.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and for those balancing caregiving, work, or health concerns. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions into day-to-day life while working with a licensed professional.
