How her approaches work for online therapy

Teresa blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and existential ideas to guide online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means she follows each person’s pace, listens without judgment, and helps people identify what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different actions to reduce anxiety, anger, and low mood. Existential Therapy supports conversations about meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels confusing or stuck.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit their needs. She adapts her focus over time, checking in so the work stays useful and relevant to what a person wants to change.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow people to connect from wherever they are. They can also make shorter check-ins or more regular appointments simpler to arrange. Teresa will discuss practical scheduling and structure so sessions fit into everyday life and support steady progress.
