Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical change and emotional regulation. One common approach helps people learn specific coping skills for strong emotions like anger, anxiety, and panic; it breaks reactions into small steps and teaches new responses to familiar triggers. Another approach centers processing grief and trauma by creating a steady plan for talking through painful memories, building routines, and practicing self-care techniques that reduce overwhelm.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Theresa will discuss options with each person and tailor methods to their goals and daily life. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to prioritize and how to practice them between sessions so progress is measurable and realistic.
