How her approaches adapt to online therapy
Teressa uses client-centered work to follow each person's pace and priorities, helping them name what matters and set meaningful goals. This approach is useful for anyone wanting a supportive space to talk through stress, family tensions, or questions about direction in life.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, impulsivity, and workplace or money-related worries. Mindfulness therapy rounds out her work by teaching simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teressa will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That collaborative process makes it easier to try tools and adjust them based on what helps.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversations and practicing new skills, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These formats allow therapy to fit into work breaks, family routines, or days when getting out is difficult.
