Approach and Access: Evidence-Based Methods Delivered Online

Teresa commonly integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy into her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while DBT emphasizes building emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who experience intense emotions or chronic stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Teresa collaborates with each client to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors pace and techniques, checking in regularly to adjust the plan so it remains useful and realistic for the individual.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to maximize flexibility and accessibility. These options allow clients to continue consistent work from different locations and to choose formats that match their communication comfort, making it easier to maintain progress between appointments.
