How her approaches translate to online therapy
Teresa uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy in ways that fit well for online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation focuses on what matters to the client and builds on their strengths, which helps guide each meeting. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) gives clear, structured techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for stress, anxiety, and money-related concerns. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed, offering concrete tools to manage intense feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life, and then try methods that match those needs. She often mixes techniques and adjusts based on what is working and what the client wants to focus on.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports working on real-world skills between meetings, since exercises and coaching can be practiced where life happens.
