Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Theresa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR with somatic awareness to address both symptoms and the experiences that underlie them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change behaviors that are getting in the way of daily life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing of distressing memories and the beliefs that stick with those memories; it can be helpful for people struggling with the aftereffects of abuse, accidents, or other overwhelming events.

Somatic Therapy emphasizes awareness of bodily sensations and the ways stress and trauma live in the body, offering tools to regulate arousal and reconnect with physical signals as part of healing. Theresa views selecting an approach as a collaborative process - she will work with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and may blend techniques over time to best address presenting concerns.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it possible to receive consistent therapeutic support while accommodating work, caregiving, mobility, or geographic constraints, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not practical.
