Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support
Terese integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work in a way that fits each person’s goals. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values to motivate meaningful action - it is often useful for anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that the therapist follows the client’s lead and fosters a trusting, supportive relationship - it helps when someone needs a validating space to explore identity, relationships, or self-worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, supporting work on mood, stress, and coping skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Terese works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and involves clients in deciding next steps so treatment remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy with Terese is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to receive consistent support around work, family, and life demands while engaging in the same evidence-informed approaches they would expect in traditional settings.
