Online support

Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and improve emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then collaborate to choose which methods to try. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps most, so the plan is practical and personalized.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people use visual cues and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, journaling between sessions, and ongoing support without needing to schedule a full call. These options provide flexibility while keeping the focus on real, manageable progress.
