About Teresa
Teresa centers conversations on respect and sensitivity. She listens first and shapes a plan around each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps and on learning tools that can be used between meetings.
Her approach draws on several evidence-based methods. Teresa may use acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable action. She can bring in cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. When trauma is central, she may use techniques aimed at processing distressing memories.
Teresa has worked with people affected by chronic illness, caregiving strain, adoption and foster care questions, body-image concerns, and aging-related issues. She describes treatment as a collaborative effort and adjusts pacing to what feels right for each person.
Starting therapy with Teresa involves honest conversation about goals and what feels doable. She supports practical problem solving, emotional processing, and building skills to cope with day-to-day demands. If you want a straightforward, caring clinician to help sort next steps, she offers that steady, focused style.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions that align with those values. It is useful for stress, grief, and life changes where motivation and meaning are central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and everyday stress. When trauma is a main concern, Teresa may draw on trauma-processing techniques to help reduce the hold of painful memories and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past efforts, and comfort with different methods. That conversation guides whether the focus leans more toward values and action, thought work, emotion regulation, or trauma processing, and the plan is adjusted over time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit into workdays, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also make it easier to continue care while living abroad, since international clients are accepted. The emphasis is on shaping sessions so they fit daily life and therapeutic goals rather than on a single fixed format.
