Therapeutic methods suited for online care
Teresa combines several practical approaches that translate well to online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person where they are, helping build trust and clarity about goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches tools to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms in everyday life. Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and then adapt techniques over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to use shorter, focused touchpoints during a busy week. Together these options help people fit therapy into their lives and practice skills in real time.
