Remote therapy with practical, relationship-focused techniques
Theresa offers online sessions that blend cognitive and relational approaches in ways that translate into everyday practice. Through cognitive behavioral techniques she helps clients notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions, then develops step-by-step strategies for coping, mood management, and behavior change. This approach is presented in clear, skills-oriented terms so clients can practice between sessions.When relationship patterns or attachment histories are central, she draws on attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas to explore how bonds and interaction styles affect current concerns. For people working with trauma, she incorporates trauma-focused methods to address past experiences while attending to safety and pacing. Sessions are collaborative; Theresa works with each person to choose which approaches fit their goals and circumstances.
