Approaches that shape online work
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood problems. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for strong emotional reactions.Theresa includes elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict in relationships. She blends these approaches with Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused work so goals are realistic and tied to what matters to the client. The therapist and client decide together which methods will fit the person’s needs and goals, adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
