Therapeutic approaches used in online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values and small committed actions to create a more meaningful life, which can help with depression and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. It is practical and skill-oriented, useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood management.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes techniques for distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and clearer communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will help clients and the therapist match methods to goals, needs, and personal preferences in a collaborative way. Clients and the therapist review what is helping and adjust the plan as they go.

The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also allow people to practice skills in moments that mirror real life, which helps carry changes into everyday routines.
