How Theresa’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small steps toward them even when emotions feel heavy. It often suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, or life changes who want practical direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood, or sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills that can help with intense anger, mood swings, and cravings.Theresa treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She will talk with each person about goals and try methods that match those goals. If a technique does not fit, she adjusts the plan so work feels useful and doable.
The practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time so appointments are easier to keep. Online work also lets therapists use guided exercises, worksheets, and coaching-style check-ins between visits. Because the profile does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. This helps make sure the session length and rhythm match your daily life and goals.
