About Theresa Bradbury
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania Licensed Psychologist with 26 years of experience helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate emotional and behavioral challenges. As a PA Psychologist PS 006223 L, she holds a license to practice psychology in Pennsylvania and brings deep clinical experience from both hospital and school settings.
She spent more than a decade working on child and adolescent units in a psychiatric hospital, serving as an educational consultant who assessed young people with diagnoses such as ADD, ODD, Tourette's Disorder, autism, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, and OCD. In that role she developed individualized IEPs and 504 plans to support students as they transitioned back to their home schools.
Theresa also worked as a school psychologist for twelve years in Pittsburgh and for five additional years after relocating to the west coast, administering and interpreting hundreds of psychoeducational tests. That combined medical and educational background has given her a practical understanding of school systems from both educational and legal perspectives, and particular expertise in designing and monitoring successful IEPs.
In private practice she has pursued advanced study in PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD for children and adults. She offers clinical support for a range of concerns and encourages those feeling the need for help to reach out for assistance during challenging times.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Theresa draws on evidence-based approaches to guide therapy in practical, skills-oriented ways. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on interpersonal patterns and emotional bonds formed early in life and helps clients explore relationship dynamics and improve connection and trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly applied for depression, anxiety, and behavior regulation.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these approaches to fit the individual and family context.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - sessions can occur by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to continue work with a therapist from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these therapeutic methods effectively for remote formats, allowing clients to build skills and address concerns without rearranging their lives.
