If someone is considering therapy, Teresa aims to make scheduling and beginning as straightforward as possible. Her style is collaborative and practical, focusing on clear next steps rather than long lectures. She encourages questions and values honest feedback during the work together.

How Teresa’s approaches shape online therapy

Teresa uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person's experience. That approach means sessions begin with listening and reflecting on what matters most to the client. It helps when someone needs space to feel heard and to set their own priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new responses. This approach can be useful for anxiety, anger, low mood, and coping with life changes.

Motivational interviewing appears in her work to support change when motivation feels stuck. It uses respectful questions and reflection to help people find their own reasons for taking next steps.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with clients to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps and what does not.
