Her style is respectful and direct while remaining warm and supportive. With twelve years of experience in this field, Theresa draws on a range of approaches including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods. She focuses on what will move a person forward, whether that’s managing sleep and anger, coping with abandonment or attachment issues, or addressing family of origin problems. Theresa also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control issues, divorce and separation, and domestic violence impacts. She offers coaching-style support alongside traditional therapy skills when that fits someone’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. People start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on the therapist’s availability. Theresa aims to make the process straightforward for someone taking the first step toward change.

Therapeutic approaches and what online work looks like

Theresa frequently uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely, helping people name their priorities, and guiding conversations at their pace. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and anger. She also draws on mindfulness and solution-focused techniques when they fit a person's goals. Mindfulness helps people notice thoughts and bodily responses without judgment, which can ease anxiety and improve sleep. Solution-focused work zeroes in on small steps and practical changes that move someone toward clearer goals. Theresa treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. She will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right fit is part of the ongoing work together. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow conversational depth and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when lower bandwidth is needed, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving forward.
