Therapeutic approaches for online healing

Theresa uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small habit changes that reduce anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation.

She also draws on EMDR to address memories and images tied to traumatic experiences. EMDR uses guided processing to help people reduce the emotional intensity of distressing memories and move toward more adaptive beliefs about themselves.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will listen to your story, discuss options, and adapt methods based on your needs and goals. She encourages feedback and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video sessions work well for in-depth conversation and visual connection, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing check-ins and homework between meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity of care.
