Background and approach
She listens closely and helps people name patterns that get in the way of feeling more confident or connected. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying respectful of each person’s pace. She blends several approaches to meet different needs, using client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Teresa also draws on skills from dialectical behavior therapy when emotional regulation or intense feelings are present. This mix lets her tailor sessions to what someone actually needs that week. People come to Teresa for help with anxiety, depression, grief, parenting strain, career transition, and coping with major life changes.
She offers both short-term problem solving and longer work on deeper issues, depending on each person’s goals. Teresa encourages practical steps and small experiments between sessions to build momentum. Her style is straightforward and compassionate.
She helps clients set clear goals and tracks progress together. The emphasis is on usable tools, clearer thinking, and stronger self-trust.

04Online support
How therapy approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s view. The therapist reflects what is said and helps clients feel heard so they can explore what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and action and teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful reactions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches coping skills for strong emotions and improves how someone tolerates stress and communicates under pressure.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Teresa will talk with the client about goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan based on what is helpful. The process is collaborative and focused on what the person wants to change or improve.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are convenient for quick updates, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try approaches without long travel.
