How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Teresa frequently draws on attachment-based work to examine how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach can help people understand recurring conflicts, closeness issues, and trust patterns in their adult relationships.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding. CBT is practical for anxiety, depression, and daily stress because it links thinking, feeling, and behavior in clear steps.
Mindfulness techniques are part of her toolbox as well. These practices help clients notice bodily sensations and emotions, reduce reactivity, and build steadyer attention during stressful moments.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting the mix as work progresses. Clients and therapist set priorities together and review how methods are helping.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life - shorter check-ins can work during a lunch break, audio-only meetings use less bandwidth, and video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when desired. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire.
