About Theresa
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS 006223 L) with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship problems, and trauma-related concerns. She also supports people coping with ADHD, grief, addictions, and changes in life circumstances.
Before private practice, she spent over a decade on child and adolescent psychiatric units. She served as an educational consultant assessing children with diverse diagnoses and helped develop IEPs and 504 plans for students returning to school. That work gave her familiarity with school processes and educational planning.
She also worked as a school psychologist in the public schools for many years. In that role she administered and interpreted many psychoeducational tests and supported students, parents, and school teams. While in-person testing was placed on hold during the pandemic, she remains a resource for questions about school progress and educational evaluations.
In private practice her areas of advanced study include PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD in both children and adults. Her background spans medical, educational, and private settings, which she uses to guide conversations about behavior, learning, and emotional regulation.
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. She uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, attachment-informed thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior methods. Prospective clients are asked to review online therapy options and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Theresa draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT focuses on values and small, workable actions that move life in a chosen direction and can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That perspective helps when relationship patterns, intimacy concerns, or attachment issues show up in parenting and adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is or isn’t helpful.
