Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Teresa integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationship patterns affect emotional responses and behavior, making it useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship challenges. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the client’s experience by creating a compassionate, accepting environment where individuals are empowered to identify their own goals and build self-esteem. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress while improving daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative part of the process. Teresa works with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and she adjusts methods over time to find what fits best for each person. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and respected as they try different techniques.
