Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Teresa uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections - this approach can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and relationship cycles. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy, offering a warm, empathic space where the person’s priorities guide the pace of work and self-discovery, which suits people seeking respect and acceptance while working through personal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key tool she uses to identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress-related behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Teresa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Teresa is offered by registered professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and communication preferences. These options make it easier to access care from home, while still allowing for regular, consistent sessions that support ongoing change and coping.
