How Teresa’s Approaches Work for Online Therapy

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges because it focuses on clear steps and practical exercises.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people feel stuck or unsure about change. This approach helps clarify personal goals and strengthens motivation to try new behaviors. Solution-Focused Therapy rounds out her approach by highlighting small, concrete steps that lead to measurable improvement.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and techniques as progress is reviewed so the plan stays useful and relevant.
