Online support

Practical approaches for online therapy and change

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely and helps people make sense of their experience so they can choose their next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase awareness in daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that match their goals, values, and needs. She adjusts methods over time and checks in about what is helping and what is not so the plan stays useful.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let sessions feel like face-to-face meetings, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, ongoing coaching, or when someone prefers writing over talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep progress moving forward.
