Background and approach
Teresa draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address panic, post-traumatic stress, guilt, shame, and problems with communication. She listens for what matters most to each person, and then works with them to set clear, manageable goals. Sessions often include talk, practical coping ideas, and reflections on patterns that keep problems stuck.
Her approach aims to make difficult topics easier to face. Teresa helps people process loss and grief at a pace that feels right for them. For compassion fatigue she offers ways to recognize warning signs and rebuild energy over time.
People who reach out will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their life. Teresa values directness and warmth, and she meets each person where they are in the moment.
Approaches and what online therapy looks like
Teresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people manage overwhelming reactions and rebuild steady routines. One common approach focuses on skills for anxiety and panic - teaching breathing and grounding techniques, and practical ways to respond during a panic attack so it becomes less frightening.For trauma and post-traumatic stress, she uses structured methods that help people process memories and reminders at a pace they can tolerate. These methods aim to reduce the power of traumatic memories and improve day-to-day functioning. For grief and coping with life changes, she helps people name their losses, make meaning, and set realistic steps toward adapting to new circumstances.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try techniques that fit their situation. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels useful and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging let people share between sessions and use written check-ins for quick coping support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical progress.
