How Theresa works
Her background includes school counseling, directing social services, and teaching as an adjunct professor. Those roles shaped her skill at supporting people through transitions, grief, and recovery. She draws on that experience when someone is navigating burnout, loss, or trauma.
Theresa uses client-centered methods to listen and follow each person's priorities. She also applies cognitive behavioral strategies to identify thinking patterns that get in the way. Emotionally-focused approaches are used when the work centers on relationships and attachment concerns.
People who reach out can expect straightforward, respectful conversation and practical steps to try between sessions. Theresa often helps with day-to-day coping, rebuilding motivation, and managing symptoms of ADHD, depression, or anxiety. She also offers help around identity, intimacy-related issues, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.
Theresa offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. She invites a first message as a way to take that single step toward change.

How Theresa’s Approaches Work Online
Theresa draws on client-centered therapy to follow each person's goals. This approach means sessions start with listening closely and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people who need space to process feelings and set priorities.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete exercises and small experiments that reduce anxiety and improve mood, useful for depression, anxiety, and ADHD-related struggles.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Theresa will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Changes are tested and adjusted together so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful when visual cues matter. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people send quick updates or work through moments between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue care across different circumstances.
