Therapeutic Approaches and Remote Care
Theresa integrates practical, evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with motivation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) helps process disturbing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact by using structured recall and bilateral stimulation to support adaptive information processing. Somatic Therapy pays attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body and incorporates body-based techniques to help regulate physiological responses and manage sensations related to trauma.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with each person to understand their history, goals, and preferences, and together they determine which combination of therapies best fits the client’s needs. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques rather than rely on a single method to support progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for scheduling and access. Theresa meets with clients by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage in care in the format that fits their life. Remote sessions can make it easier to maintain consistency, accommodate work or family obligations, and continue therapy through transitions or times of limited mobility.
