She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a compassionate approach when someone decides to seek support. Teresa encourages small steps and honest conversation to get started.

How Motivational Interviewing and CBT Guide Online Work
Teresa uses Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify their reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. This approach focuses on asking questions that help someone find their own goals and decide what matters most to them.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT offers straightforward techniques people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to keep work practical and oriented toward concrete, short-term goals.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa will discuss options and tailor methods to match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as work progresses.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy life, shorten commutes, or allow brief check-ins during a lunch break. Different formats may suit different needs - for example, a call can be easier when video is difficult, while a video visit may help with clearer nonverbal communication. Ask about available arrangements when you schedule to find what will work best for you. -
