Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Theresa Parris-Perry

Theresa commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping clients explore their own solutions, which is useful for relationship concerns and self-esteem challenges. CBT helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, often supporting progress with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce reactivity and assist with coping after trauma or during periods of overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Theresa works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods over time and invites clients to share feedback so the plan evolves in a practical way.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals and therapists, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and daily life, and they allow people to continue care when in-person visits are difficult. Theresa uses these formats to maintain continuity of care and to meet clients where they are.
