Therapeutic approaches for online work
Teresa uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a trusting, collaborative relationship where the person's goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and supporting each person's choices and pace.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and practical problem solving because it gives clear steps to practice between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try techniques that fit their life. She adjusts methods based on what helps most and invites feedback so the plan stays relevant.
Online therapy gives flexible options to fit busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or ongoing support. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy practical and skill-focused.
