Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach she draws on teaches coping and emotion regulation skills to reduce overwhelm and manage anxiety and anger. This helps people practice new ways of responding in everyday situations.Another approach centers on processing grief and trauma through steady, paced conversations and supportive strategies. This work aims to help people make sense of painful events and find ways to move forward while honoring their experience.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with clients to identify goals, test what helps, and adjust methods as needed. She invites clients to share their preferences so the plan fits their life and pace.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a more conversational session. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Text-based messaging allows for ongoing support between sessions and can be helpful for tracking progress or getting brief coping reminders. Together these formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
