Approaches That Guide Online Support

Teresa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values, accept difficult thoughts or feelings, and take committed actions that align with what matters most. This approach can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where motivation and life direction are important.

She also draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current emotional patterns and interpersonal difficulties. This work often supports people dealing with family challenges, intimacy concerns, and patterns of connection or avoidance.

Teresa incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and mood-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Teresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She frames treatment as a partnership, adapting techniques and pacing to what works best for the individual.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or wherever is most convenient, allowing continuity of care and practical support across everyday life.
