Integrative approaches available through online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own goals. This approach creates a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore concerns like relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-oriented, often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation by teaching strategies to manage symptoms and respond differently to stressful situations.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured approach used to address distress linked to traumatic memories. It helps people process and reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic events and related symptoms when trauma is a central concern.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or combine techniques that fit the individual’s situation. This collaborative planning allows adjustments as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access care from different locations within the therapist’s service area, and maintain continuity of treatment during life transitions or other disruptions.
