How sessions work
How Theresa Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thought that fuel stress and anxiety and to develop different ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is useful for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns because it focuses on clear, learnable skills.She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills where emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed. DBT techniques teach specific coping steps for intense feelings and help reduce impulsive or self-defeating reactions. The Gottman Method ideas she uses focus on communication patterns and small interaction changes that can reduce repeated conflict.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which combination of methods to try and then check how those choices are working over time.
