Approaches that guide online work

Terri commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and to practice alternative responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking small steps toward what matters. Client-centered methods shape the relationship in sessions, with empathy and active listening as core elements.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT techniques, ACT strategies, mindfulness practice, or a mix of methods that fits the person's needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video allows a face-to-face feel, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging helps track progress between meetings. These options help people access care with more flexibility and consistency.
