Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Teresa directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
Teresa often uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at how events and labels shape identity and helps people notice different meanings and possibilities. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, is another frequent choice; it focuses on values and small actions people can take to move toward a life they care about, even when feelings are difficult.She blends these with client-centered listening so the work stays guided by the person's priorities. Choosing the right approach is a shared process - Teresa will talk with someone about their goals, try out strategies, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative stance helps people find what fits best for their situation and preferences.
Online sessions offer a range of practical options: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when bandwidth is low, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use these tools to deliver therapy that focuses on everyday changes and lasting habits rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
