Theresa Bradbury , PA Psychologist PS 006223 L

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania psychologist with 26 years of practice experience. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people coping with trauma, grief, anxiety, mood struggles, and concerns related to parenting and relationships. She uses clear, skills-based work so people can manage strong emotions and get back to daily life.

Theresa draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based methods to guide sessions. She keeps explanations simple and offers tools people can use between meetings. Sessions often focus on emotion regulation, improving communication, and building routines for sleep, eating, and daily functioning.

Her background includes long experience in child and adolescent psychiatric units and many years as a school psychologist. That history gave her experience evaluating learning and behavior concerns and developing individualized education plans and supports. She has worked with children who had ADHD, autism, mood disorders, or learning challenges while also supporting caregivers.

In private practice she has continued to work with PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD in both children and adults. That mix of settings - hospital, schools, and private work - shapes a practical approach that values clear goals and measurable progress. Theresa communicates in straightforward language and helps people figure out next steps.

Theresa offers sessions in English and practices in Pennsylvania. She provides online options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes in clear, goal-focused steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors affect each other and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which is useful for mood, anxiety, sleep, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions, helping people improve communication and intimacy when relationships cause distress.

Theresa treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The process is collaborative and paced to the person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats used include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good for a fuller conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Chat and messaging allow brief updates, coaching, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and other routines while keeping the focus on practical progress.
