About Theresa

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania licensed psychologist with 26 years of clinical experience who integrates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into a broader, practical approach to help clients address emotional and behavioral challenges.

Background and approach

She draws on long-term work in both psychiatric and school settings to support people navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, grief, and life changes, offering grounded strategies to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Her background includes extensive roles on child and adolescent psychiatric units and many years as a school psychologist, where she developed individualized education plans and provided psychoeducational assessment and consultation. That combination of medical and educational perspectives informs her work in independent practice, where she has focused on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan.

Theresa aims to blend evidence-based techniques with an understanding of each client's context to build practical coping skills and clarify goals. Practitioners and families may find her experience helpful when addressing complex diagnoses, school-related concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.

Theresa works in English from Pennsylvania and offers a variety of remote session formats to accommodate different needs and schedules.

Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs

Theresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and anger. She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and build action plans that align with what matters most, especially when facing life transitions or chronic stress.

In practice she approaches therapy collaboratively, helping clients explore which methods feel like the best fit. Together they consider goals, personal preferences, and day-to-day realities to shape a treatment plan that can combine elements from CBT, ACT, attachment-focused work, or client-centered techniques depending on the situation.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, online therapy here is designed for flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on skills and goals despite busy schedules or geographic constraints, and they support ongoing check-ins, skill practice, and coaching between in-person options.
