How her approaches translate to online care
Theresia uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often shows up as concrete skill practice and short at-home exercises. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and mood regulation.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful actions despite difficult feelings. That work focuses on small value-driven goals and learning ways to tolerate uncomfortable emotions while still moving forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them based on how well they fit the client's life and needs.
