Background and approach
Teresa pays attention to how health conditions, caregiving roles, and blended family situations shape daily routines and coping. Teresa blends practical therapies to match each person’s needs. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new skills.

She avoids stigmatizing labels and centers empathy and sensitivity in conversation.

How therapy approaches work online
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or sleep trouble. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small consistent steps toward those values, which can be useful for life changes and ADHD-related struggles.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That process makes it easier to pick skills and strategies that fit the client's daily routine and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a focused check-in. Live chat and text work well for short check-ins, skill coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
