Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Teresa uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice and change the emotional patterns that drive their reactions. EFT focuses on understanding core emotions and creating new ways to respond when feelings feel overwhelming.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without needing to fight them and taking action guided by personal values. Client-centered work is used to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s goals lead the work.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will collaborate with each person to see which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan as needed so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video is useful when visual connection matters, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can work for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports shorter, ongoing contact between appointments. These options help people balance therapy with work, caregiving, or travel.
