Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening with empathy and building a collaborative relationship so clients feel heard and guided as they explore their goals - this approach is helpful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and adjustment concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and to improve coping skills. Mindfulness therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult emotions, which can support sleep, anger management, and overall emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from where a person is located.
