Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa Williams frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this approach is often useful for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms because it focuses on practical strategies and skill-building. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques, which emphasize emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - tools that can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping under pressure. In addition, Motivational Interviewing is used to explore personal values and strengthen motivation for change, which can be especially helpful when clients face ambivalence about making life adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Theresa works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time so the work fits the client rather than the other way around. That partnership helps ensure treatment feels relevant and achievable.

Online therapy adds practical benefits to this process. Video calls and phone sessions allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional flexibility for ongoing support and check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to maintain continuity of care across distances, supporting steady progress toward personal goals.
