About Teresa
She uses a person-centered way of working that focuses on each person's strengths. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with attention to what is happening in everyday life. Teresa aims to build a steady, open relationship where active listening and honest feedback guide progress.
Her methods draw from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These tools are woven together to match what a person needs rather than sticking to one rigid model. The focus is on small steps, workable strategies, and using personal values to guide change.
Teresa brings 18 years of experience as an LPC and frames challenges in terms of strengths and resources. She is experienced addressing additional concerns like abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness, caregiver stress, substance concerns, and blended family dynamics. This background informs practical suggestions and coping strategies.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, low motivation, and coping with changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches concrete skills to manage worry, low mood, and unhelpful patterns. Both approaches offer practical steps you can try between sessions to test what helps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That may mean mixing ACT and CBT techniques or adding person-centered discussions so the plan feels realistic and meaningful.
Because the original biography does not specify online formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that suit their energy level that day, such as a focused skills session or a longer reflective conversation. Licensed professionals aim to match approach and logistics so therapy fits into everyday life without asking for major changes.
