How Teresa's Approaches Work Online
Teresa uses client-centered methods that focus on each person's priorities. This approach means the therapist listens first, asks about your goals, and then helps you shape sessions around what matters most. It helps when people need straightforward support and practical problem solving.She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address relationship patterns and deep feelings. EFT helps people name emotions, understand recurring interaction cycles, and try new ways of connecting with others. Trauma-focused therapy is part of her work when past events affect current functioning; it helps process difficult memories and reduce their grip on daily life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Teresa will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest ways to proceed. She adjusts methods over time so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people take part. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work with lower bandwidth, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep contact between appointments when helpful.
