Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people and partners identify strong emotions and the patterns that keep them stuck. In online sessions this work focuses on naming feelings, tracking how they show up, and trying new responses in the moment to change relationship dynamics.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current relationship patterns that shape how people seek closeness and safety. Online sessions can help clients notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating, which often reduce recurring conflict and isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so clients shape the path forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, ongoing problem-solving, or people who prefer writing to talking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and try approaches that suit them best.
