Evidence-based techniques for online support
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical steps. One common approach is problem-focused work that breaks down worries into manageable parts and teaches coping skills for stress and anxiety. Another approach centers on emotion-focused conversations that help people process grief, strengthen self-esteem, and practice self-compassion. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Theresa will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan so therapy stays useful and relevant. Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial cues and do deeper conversations. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief check-ins around work or caregiving, and provide ongoing support between longer sessions.Frequently asked questions
