Therapy approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people tolerate uncomfortable emotions while moving toward what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy examines unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions, and it can help people improve trust and closeness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs, and daily life. She adjusts plans over time so the therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth or camera use is an issue. Live chat or text messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or days when a shorter contact is more realistic. These options make therapy more flexible for work, caregiving, or travel.
