Theresa encourages small, sustainable changes that can reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.

She listens closely, provides clear feedback, and helps people practice new skills between meetings. Many clients find it useful to leave sessions with a few focused steps to try. Theresa welcomes people who want steady support while navigating change.

How Theresa’s Approaches Work Online

Theresa blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address emotional pain and everyday thinking patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps slow down intense moments and name the feelings underneath conflict or distress, which can clarify what needs attention. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms and improve routines.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor methods so sessions feel useful and manageable.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different needs. Video calls are useful for longer, conversational work and skill practice. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is low or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging can support quick reflections, brief coaching, or ongoing check-ins between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to continue work through transitions and everyday life.
