How her approaches translate to online work

Theresa draws on client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and honoring the client's experience so sessions center on what matters most to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches concrete tools to change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives by reducing travel time, making it easier to schedule short check-ins, or allowing participation from different locations when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between sessions and to use time efficiently around family or work commitments.
