Online session options

Approaches that guide online work

Teresa uses Narrative ideas to help people rewrite the stories that shape their choices. Narrative work looks at the themes and roles that run through a life and helps people find alternative, more helpful ways of describing themselves and their relationships.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches acceptance of unwanted feelings while focusing on actions that match personal values. ACT is useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and coping with change. Attachment-based ideas inform work on patterns of closeness, trust, and how early relationships influence current behavior and expectations.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods as needed. She aims to match techniques to the issues at hand so sessions feel relevant and doable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a more flexible check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, homework review, or people who prefer writing rather than speaking.

These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep continuity of care when schedules or locations change.
