Therapeutic Approaches Delivered Through Online Care
Theresa often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. CBT focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for change.
She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques when clients need support with emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships. DBT teaches skills to cope with intense emotions and to build more effective interpersonal strategies.
When trauma is central to a person’s difficulties, Theresa draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy approaches to gently process painful experiences and strengthen coping resources. These methods are applied with attention to pacing and the client’s readiness.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Theresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and needs, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses and combining approaches when helpful.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and connect from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt these modalities to deliver consistent, focused support that aligns with each client’s routine and preferences.
