Theresa Bradbury, PA Psychologist PS 006223 L

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania-licensed psychologist with more than two decades of clinical work. She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage strong emotions, daily stress, and attention challenges. Theresa explains things plainly and aims to make each session feel useful from the first meeting.

Theresa spent many years working on child and adolescent psychiatric units and later as a school psychologist. That background gave her hands-on experience with mood disorders, attention differences, eating problems, and learning challenges. She also developed Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) and 504 plans to support students returning to school.

In private practice she has focused on trauma, anger, depression, and ADHD in both children and adults. Her work blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with other approaches to teach new skills, shift unhelpful thinking, and reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-directed, with clear strategies to use between meetings.

Theresa draws on decades of experience with families, schools, and hospitals to help people navigate life changes, grief, and complex emotional patterns. She pays attention to how relationships and school or work stress affect daily functioning. Parents often find her practical advice useful when dealing with behavior, sleep, or learning concerns.

Theresa practices in Pennsylvania and works in English. She offers several online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and comfort. To start, a short questionnaire helps match needs to scheduling options.

How CBT, ACT, and Attachment Work Online

Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and problems with attention by breaking issues into steps and practicing new responses.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and accept difficult thoughts while taking action toward their goals. This approach can be useful for chronic stress, grief, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions; it can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems, and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then recommend a way to proceed. That decision is collaborative and is adjusted as goals or life circumstances change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep continuity when life gets in the way.
