How Teresa Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

Teresa combines practical therapeutic approaches that focus on thinking patterns, solutions, and relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety or low mood and then practice alternatives that change how they respond. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, achievable steps and on what is already working to create faster progress. Systemic Therapy examines how interactions and roles within families or close relationships affect current problems and helps people shift those patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is revisited as progress is made so the plan can change if something else would help more.
