How therapy approaches translate to online work
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts and actions that keep problems going and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and many everyday struggles.She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT skills can be especially helpful when strong emotions or impulsive reactions cause trouble.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then recommend methods that fit. Clients and therapist decide together if a skill-based plan, a problem-solving focus, or a blend of approaches makes the most sense.
