Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terisa draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful and empathetic environment that helps people feel heard and understood while exploring personal goals and emotions. This approach supports issues like grief, relationship challenges, and the emotional effects of life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that examines how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. CBT helps people develop concrete tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress by identifying unhelpful patterns and practicing healthier responses.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Terisa works with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or other convenient settings and allow therapy to fit into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
