The focus is on clear, achievable actions. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, giving different ways to check in. Teresa encourages small, steady progress and helps clients track what works for them.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Teresa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change thoughts that increase anxiety or depression. CBT focuses on small experiments and practical steps to test new ways of thinking and behaving.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy for managing strong emotions and reducing panic. DBT introduces skills like emotion regulation and grounding that can be practiced between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone feels stuck about change; it helps clarify values and build commitment without pressure.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they will try methods that match the person’s priorities and adjust the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets people work face to face when that helps the work. Phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when a written conversation feels easier. These options make it possible to fit therapy into a busy day and to use the format that helps progress.
