Focus areas and approaches

Everything Theresa lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care

Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common concerns like anxiety, trauma, and low self-esteem. One approach focuses on skill-building for managing anxiety and stress through practical strategies and step-by-step practice. This helps with day-to-day coping and reducing overwhelming reactions.

Another approach targets trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping people process difficult memories at a pace they can tolerate. The work centers on stabilizing symptoms, reducing shame and guilt, and rebuilding a sense of safety and self-worth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans when something is not working.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that helps connection. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Messaging and live chat give shorter options for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family life, or a busy schedule.
