About Teressa
Teressa uses straightforward conversation to help people sort what matters most right now. Sessions focus on identifying practical steps and noticing patterns that get in the way. She draws on Client-Centered approaches to keep the conversation focused on each person's experience.
She also brings cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and test small changes in behavior. Mindfulness-based strategies are available to help with emotional regulation and grounding when anxiety or low mood are present. These methods are used together to fit each person's specific situation and goals.
People typically talk through communication problems, struggles with forgiveness, impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about life purpose and money. Teressa pays attention to workplace stress and issues that commonly affect women. The work is practical and aimed at clearer thinking and steadier routines.

How her approaches translate to online work
Teressa uses Client-Centered Therapy to anchor sessions in the client's own concerns. That approach focuses on listening carefully and following what matters most to the individual, which helps when someone feels unsure about next steps.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. CBT helps people test small changes and build practical habits for anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. Mindfulness Therapy is used alongside these methods to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support steadier moods.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Teressa will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as sessions progress. This is a collaborative process aimed at figuring out what fits each person's life and challenges.
