How Teresa's Approaches Work Online
Teresa uses client-centered therapy to keep the person's goals at the center of each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people explore what matters most to them, which can help with self-esteem, life purpose, and relationship concerns. She also draws on emotionally-focused therapy to identify patterns in close relationships and to help people shift toward more supported emotional responses.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Teresa will discuss options and try approaches that match the person's goals, needs, and comfort level. She views the process as collaborative and adjusts methods based on feedback and progress during online sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be useful when video would be difficult or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are good for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity of care across everyday life.
