Background and approach
ADHD is one of the concerns she lists among her focus areas. Teresa combines time-tested techniques with relational work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thoughts and patterns that keep problems going.
She also incorporates principles from the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and handle conflict in relationships. Her background includes a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and long experience in relationship work. Teresa frames sessions in plain language and asks direct questions to uncover what matters most to each person.
She aims to make therapy practical and usable in daily life. People describe her style as warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental. Teresa values working collaboratively to set achievable goals and build skills that carry beyond sessions.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and often includes simple home exercises to try between sessions, which can be reviewed over video or text. The Gottman Method informs her work on communication and conflict; it focuses on concrete skills for couples and partners to improve listening and reduce negative cycles.Choosing an approach is collaborative. She works with each person to decide what fits their goals, situation, and comfort level. That process can start in an initial online session and evolve as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions take less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, homework review, and support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to practice new skills in everyday life.
