Approaches and how online therapy can help
Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT commonly helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills you can use between sessions.She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, achievable goals and steps that lead toward improvement. This approach is useful when someone wants quick, concrete changes to daily routines or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they will review what is working and adjust the plan as needed to keep progress moving.
