How Teresa’s Approaches Work Online

Trauma-Focused Therapy is aimed at helping people process and reduce the ongoing impact of past hurt. It often involves careful pacing, grounding skills, and strategies for remembering and reworking difficult memories in ways that reduce their hold.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and supporting a person’s own choices. The therapist follows the client’s lead, asking questions and reflecting back what’s important so people feel understood and can decide on next steps.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It uses simple exercises and skill-building to change unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors between sessions.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because formats are not specified here, confirm the available session options before booking to match your schedule and needs. Online work can include the same practical skill-building and trauma-focused strategies used in person, adapted to a format that suits the client.
