How her approaches fit with online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they feel distressed in close relationships and build different ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices to notice thoughts and sensations, which can ease reactivity and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teresa will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds. She aims to blend practical steps with space for reflection so therapy fits individual needs.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help sessions fit around work, school, or caregiving. It can allow shorter check-ins, let someone avoid travel time, and make it simpler to maintain continuity when life is busy. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, attachment work, and mindfulness practices to remote settings so progress continues across environments.
