Background and approach
Teresa combines talking, skill-building, and small experiments people can try between sessions. The pace and focus are set by each person’s needs and goals. Teresa blends several evidence-informed approaches to shape treatment.
She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and tolerate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change behavior. Attachment-based ideas guide work on relationship patterns and intimacy concerns.
Clients can expect clear, down-to-earth guidance and tools they can use right away. Teresa often brings solution-focused techniques when someone needs faster relief or practical steps. She also addresses complex histories such as trauma, chronic illness, or caregiving strain with sensitivity and attention to safety.
Sessions are offered through various online formats so people can choose what fits their life. Teresa asks about goals on the first visits and then tailors the plan together. She encourages small changes and steady progress over time.

Approaches that guide online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values to guide meaningful action. This approach can be useful for anxiety, depression, and anger when someone wants clearer direction in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and shifting patterns of behavior. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress because it gives concrete skills to practice between sessions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections and intimacy. It helps people understand repeating relationship dynamics and try different ways of relating that feel safer and more satisfying.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, history, and preferences. She may combine techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, so clients help shape the path forward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to create flexibility. Video lets people read facial cues and use visual tools. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make therapy easier to fit into busy lives and help maintain continuity when schedules change.
