About Teresa

Background and approach

Teresa approaches clients with respect for their knowledge of their own lives and encourages the courage it takes to pursue greater well-being. Her style emphasizes empowerment and collaboration, guiding clients as they navigate life changes, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career concerns, and more specific struggles such as ADHD, bipolar symptoms, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness-related stress.

Teresa integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, client-centered listening, and trauma-focused interventions to tailor plans to individual needs. She aims to support people in building resilience and practical skills while honoring personal values and goals.

Approach and Online Options for Collaborative Change

Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral methods and client-centered practices in online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical skills to shift those patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a nonjudgmental space so clients can explore their values and make choices that align with their goals.

She also integrates mindfulness techniques to cultivate present-moment awareness and stress reduction, and trauma-informed methods when addressing past hurt. Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Teresa works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best based on a person’s goals, life context, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options make it possible to access licensed professionals from different locations, fit sessions into busy schedules, and continue momentum between appointments using messaging or shorter check-ins when helpful.
