How Teresa integrates evidence-based approaches online

Teresa commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors with clear, step-by-step exercises that reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people accept difficult feelings while building a life they care about.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel heard and involved. Together with the client she will discuss which approach or combination best fits the person's goals and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity of care when travel or location would otherwise be a barrier.
