About Theresa Bradbury

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania licensed psychologist with deep experience supporting children, adolescents, and families through emotional and behavioral challenges. Over the course of her career she has worked in both medical and educational settings, focusing on helping young people regain control over emotional and behavioral dysregulation and address learning difficulties. As a child and adolescent unit clinician at a psychiatric hospital for more than a decade, she served as an educational consultant assessing students with a wide range of diagnoses such as ADD, ODD, Tourette disorder, autism, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, and OCD, and she developed individualized IEPs and 504 plans to ease students’ transitions back to their home schools.

She also spent many years in the public school sector as a school psychologist, including a twelve-year tenure in Pittsburgh and an additional five years after relocating to the west coast. During that time she administered and interpreted hundreds of psychoeducational tests and developed practical strategies to support school progress from both educational and legal perspectives. While in-person assessments were placed on hold during the pandemic, she remains a resource for families seeking guidance about school performance and accommodations.

In private practice, her advanced study areas include PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan. She is licensed in Pennsylvania as a psychologist - PA Psychologist PS 006223 L - and welcomes inquiries from those seeking support during times of stress, grief, change, or financial strain.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Theresa Bradbury integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet a range of needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches clients practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action - it can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping clients understand how attachment shapes current connections and address issues like intimacy, abandonment, and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through structured exercises and skill-building - it is commonly used for depression, anxiety, anger management, and ADHD-related strategies.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Theresa works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that fit best, adjusting strategies over time so therapy aligns with evolving needs. She emphasizes teamwork and practical skills that translate into daily life.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from home or while traveling. Theresa uses these modalities to provide consistent, accessible care tailored to each client’s situation.
