She is not currently accepting new clients.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

Teddi Plummer draws on several evidence-based methods that translate well to remote work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness - it is often applied to intense emotions, self-harm behaviors, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Plummer works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors interventions so the therapy approach fits the individual rather than forcing a single model on everyone.

Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from various locations, accommodate busy lives, and continue consistent work toward goals even when in-person visits are not feasible.
