Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to identify attachment needs and practice new ways of relating to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions the therapist and client track specific thoughts and try small behavior experiments between meetings to test new responses.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. That collaborative planning means approaches can be adjusted if something doesn’t feel helpful. Online work can make regular therapy easier to keep up. Video calls let people read facial expressions and work in depth, while phone sessions can be a simpler option when video would be too much. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules, energy levels, and communication styles, helping people make therapy fit into their routine.
