How Tressa Uses Talk Therapy Online
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems tied to daily routines. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage difficult feelings. Motivational interviewing is a short, goal-focused approach that helps people clarify what matters and find their own reasons to change.The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods fit best. Early sessions usually involve talking about goals and trying one or two approaches to see what helps. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs do across weeks or months.
