Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Theresa draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and family dynamics, which can be helpful for relationship and parenting concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports clients and couples in increasing emotional awareness and strengthening connection by identifying and reshaping interactional patterns that cause distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Theresa works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to determine which methods or combination of methods fit best for their situation.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where therapy happens. Theresa provides sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to schedule care that fits work, family, and geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support while balancing everyday responsibilities, and they broaden access to licensed professionals and therapists who can collaborate on the path forward.
