Approach-driven online therapy and support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles with motivation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT offers practical tools for managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense mood shifts, impulsivity, and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Teresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - so people can choose the format that fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care, attend appointments from different locations, and integrate therapy into a busy life.
