How Teresa's Approaches Work Online

Teresa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage overwhelming emotions and change patterns that cause distress. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical alternatives to shift mood and behavior. DBT teaches skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques to help people slow down and notice what is happening in the moment. These methods are explained in simple terms and practiced during sessions so clients can try them between meetings. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a team effort; Teresa works with each person to figure out what matches their goals, preferences, and daily life. She adjusts strategies over time based on progress and feedback.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between longer appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to keep up with treatment.
