Therapeutic approaches and online care with Teresa

Teresa integrates attachment-based therapy, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure connections and healthier ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on meeting each person with empathy and acceptance, allowing their own goals and insights to guide the work. CBT offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of stress, anxiety, and mood struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Teresa collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so therapy remains responsive and effective.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family, or mobility constraints, while allowing licensed professionals like Teresa to provide consistent support across distance.
