How specific approaches translate to online sessions

This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress during life transitions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings; DBT skills can help with anger, mood swings, and handling relationship tension. The Gottman Method is used for relationship-focused work, offering concrete communication and conflict tools to improve interaction patterns.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
