Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration. In this approach the therapist provides a supportive environment that helps clients explore feelings and make choices, which can be useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It uses practical strategies and skill-building to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, and to improve daily functioning.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns influence current behavior and relationships. It can help clients gain insight into recurring issues such as attachment problems, long-standing relationship patterns, or emotional responses rooted in earlier life events.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Tressa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine elements from different approaches and adjust strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and session format. These modalities make it easier to access licensed professionals from different locations and to integrate therapy into a busy life, while still receiving structured, goal-oriented care.
