She commonly helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and ADHD-related challenges.

Background and approach
Sessions often focus on clear skills and short-term strategies for immediate relief, combined with deeper work when it's needed. Teresa uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to address mood disorders, relationship strain, parenting stress, workplace difficulties, and major life changes. She also supports people dealing with anger, career questions, compassion fatigue, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Her work includes helping clients navigate grief and the impacts of trauma. In practice she draws from client-centered care, cognitive behavioral ideas, and solution-focused methods. These approaches are used to build coping skills, shift unhelpful patterns, and set realistic goals.
The pacing and focus change with what each person brings to the session. People who choose her often want a therapist who listens, offers concrete tools, and helps them take manageable steps forward. Teresa aims to guide and encourage while respecting each person’s pace and priorities.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Teresa commonly uses client-centered work that focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. That approach means sessions begin with listening and validating, then move toward jointly chosen goals and steps to reach them. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to sort through feelings and make decisions.She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior. Those techniques teach concrete strategies for managing anxiety, improving mood, and handling ADHD-related challenges like distraction and task organization. Solution-focused methods are used to set short-term goals and build quick, practical changes that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will help figure out which methods fit best based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be good for brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person meetings aren’t convenient.
