How Teressa’s approaches can fit online therapy
Teressa uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can share what matters most to them. This approach focuses on listening and responding to each person’s goals and values.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. CBT helps people try small practical experiments and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Mindfulness Therapy is part of her work as well, teaching simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve calm in daily life.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. Teressa will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs and preferences. She adapts tools and pacing so the work fits the individual rather than forcing a single style.
