Approaches you can use online and how they help

CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills to help people notice feelings and respond more calmly in stressful moments.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when intense emotions or panic attacks make daily life hard. DBT offers concrete techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when stress or relationship tension is high. These approaches can be combined to match what a person needs in the moment.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels workable in day-to-day life. She adjusts plans as progress is made and as needs change.
