About Theresa
She spent many years working in psychiatric hospitals with teens and adults before moving into outpatient and private practice. That background informs a calm, experienced approach to hard situations. Theresa helps people label emotions, reframe thoughts, and try small steps that lead to change.
Theresa uses a mix of approaches to meet everyday needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and guided action, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift thinking patterns, and Client-Centered methods to offer nonjudgmental support. She also integrates emotionally focused and psychodynamic ideas when they fit the issue.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, including stress, parenting pressures, bipolar mood challenges, relationship strain, sleep problems, anger, ADHD, and issues related to aging and geriatric concerns. She also helps with caregiver stress, cancer-related worries, and midlife transitions.

How her approaches guide online work
Theresa often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify what matters most to them and take small, values-based steps forward. ACT can be useful for depression, anxiety, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction and action.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice different ways of responding. CBT is a hands-on approach that people use for anxiety, sleep problems, mood shifts, and stress management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time based on what helps in real life.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care while managing caregiving duties, medical appointments, or work breaks. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and focus to match what a client needs in their day-to-day life.
