Therapeutic approaches and how online therapy fits

Theresa draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person from their own perspective and building a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship to help people explore their feelings and values. This approach is helpful for those seeking emotional support, self-exploration, and stronger therapeutic alliance.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related difficulties. CBT is particularly useful for people looking for practical tools to manage mood, stress, and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with clients to determine which methods best align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer flexible ways to connect, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations. These formats support ongoing therapeutic work while accommodating varied communication styles and logistical needs.
