Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Teresa Hess uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and is often helpful for stress, panic, and everyday worry.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach she employs, which examines how early relationships shape present-day feelings and relationship patterns. This work can be useful for those dealing with attachment concerns, adoption or foster care issues, blended families, and difficulties forming or maintaining close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively with clients and licensed professionals to tailor techniques to each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and priorities change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access ongoing support from therapists without travel, allowing sessions to fit into work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
