How Teresa’s Approaches Translate to Online Sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to each person. In practice this means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them decide which goals matter most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood; it is useful for stress, worry, and low confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk through what seems to fit a person's goals and preferences, and she will adjust techniques as problems change. That collaborative process helps keep sessions practical and relevant to daily life.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also support using in-the-moment tools for anxiety or homework between sessions. The therapist will help plan how sessions fit into your routine and suggest exercises that can be used outside sessions.
