How Theresa’s approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small, concrete steps toward a meaningful life and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches clear strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anger, mood issues, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy issues, grief, and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and adjust the plan as progress continues.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing sessions during a lunch break or between appointments. It can also make shorter check-ins possible when a brief update is helpful. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based techniques to work effectively in remote sessions while focusing on practical tools and daily routines.
