About Teddi

Teddi Plummer is an LPCC with nine years of clinical experience in California who draws on evidence-based therapies to guide people through complex emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She integrates approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered work, mindfulness, and motivational strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Her background includes facilitating groups for anger management, parenting, substance and behavioral addictions, and DBT skills training.

Known for an empathic and encouraging manner, she emphasizes hope and collaboration while respecting clients' spiritual or faith perspectives when those resources are meaningful to recovery. Her practice has involved working with a broad range of concerns including mood disorders, trauma, addiction, grief, relationship and family problems, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among others.

Teddi has experience in crisis settings and with co-occurring disorders, and she uses assessment and clinical skills to identify appropriate supports and interventions. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How CBT, ACT, and Mindfulness Translate to Online Care

CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning; in an online format, CBT techniques can be taught through structured conversations, worksheets, and homework tailored to a person's concerns such as anxiety, depression, or unhealthy coping habits.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and developing psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action, which can be especially useful for stress, grief, and chronic emotional pain when practiced through guided exercises and experiential tasks in virtual sessions.

Mindfulness-based work cultivates present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills to help with emotional balance and impulse control, and short guided practices or skills coaching translate well to video or audio formats.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and life context, adjusting techniques over time to find the best match.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and makes ongoing care more accessible for people with busy lives or limited travel options. These options allow for skill practice between sessions and permit therapists to use worksheets, guided exercises, and real-time coaching to support progress.
