How Teresa's approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can help with stress, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and gives clear strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build trust and self-direction.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend or blend methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process and can shift as goals change.
