Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Theresa integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT, and emotionally-focused therapy - EFT into her online practice. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening with empathy and supporting each person to find their own solutions, which is helpful for building self-esteem and navigating life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and developing practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. EFT targets emotional patterns in relationships and individual attachment experiences, assisting clients who are working through relationship difficulties, grief, or trauma.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals and tailors interventions accordingly, adjusting methods as progress unfolds so therapy fits each person’s circumstances and values.

Online therapy with Theresa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to engage in care. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, accommodate mobility or caregiving constraints, and maintain continuity of support across locations. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented work that aligns with each client’s life and needs.
