How Teresa's approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's lead. The therapist creates space for people to say what matters most and uses that feedback to shape sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people try small, practical changes that reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will work with each person to choose methods that match goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can change as progress is made or new issues emerge.
Session logistics and formats are not detailed in the biography, so please confirm which online or in-person options are currently offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around work, caregiving, or busy schedules. Others prefer shorter check-ins when time is tight, or conversations that use fewer screens when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like mindfulness exercises and behavioral experiments to work in remote meetings, making it possible to practice new skills between sessions.
