Remote sessions using structured, collaborative techniques
Teresa conducts remote appointments using a warm, interactive approach that adapts to video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. She adjusts the pace and style of sessions to match how a person prefers to communicate and the issues they bring to the work.Cognitive-behavioral therapy is offered in straightforward terms, focusing on how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and stress and teaching practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. Motivational interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and build internal motivation for change by connecting goals to personal values. Rational-emotive therapy addresses rigid or unhelpful beliefs and helps replace them with more flexible, realistic ways of thinking.
These approaches are combined as needed so sessions can include skill building, exploration of readiness for change, and examination of underlying beliefs. Teresa works collaboratively with each person to set goals, decide priorities, and choose whether video calls, telephone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging best fit their needs.
