How her approaches fit online therapy

Teresa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that translate well to remote work. ACT helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be practiced between sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, with homework and real-world practice that carry over easily into daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa will work collaboratively to figure out which methods match a client's goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review what is working and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, whether by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or supporting longer weekly sessions when needed. Licensed professionals can assign short exercises between meetings, use screen-sharing for worksheets, and adapt tools to the client’s routine to help sustain progress.
