How Theresa works
Clients learn skills to manage stress, mood swings, anxiety, and cravings, and to rebuild trust in their own choices. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, bipolar mood shifts, and addictions. She also helps with relationship strain, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Her practice includes work on ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues like codependency, communication problems, and control struggles. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, first responder issues, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are shaped by approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused thinking, client-centered talk, and skills from dialectical behavior work.
The focus is on small, doable changes that fit each person’s life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) invites people to notice strong thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that line up with their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like persistent worry or low mood. It is practical and goal-oriented for stress, anxiety, and mood challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current connections and emotional reactions, helping people change patterns that cause repeated conflict or distance. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, and then try approaches that fit. Sessions are collaborative rather than prescriptive, with adjustments made as progress is seen. Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice-only check-in is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging can support quick check-ins, homework, or notes between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.Start online instead of waiting
