About Teresa
Her style is collaborative and flexible. Teresa listens for strengths a person already has and builds on them. She connects current struggles to past experiences and family patterns without getting stuck there. The aim is to help people speak up for themselves and make clearer choices.
Teresa combines several therapeutic approaches in straightforward ways. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to notice thoughts that lead to actions, and attachment-focused thinking to look at how relationships affect feelings. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live more in line with their values.
Sessions focus on real problems and small steps that feel doable. Teresa supports clients as they practice new skills, try different ways of relating, and change patterns that no longer work. She encourages self-advocacy so clients can handle their life narrative with more confidence.
Teresa has practiced for 13 years and is based in Delaware. She welcomes people who are exploring recovery, relationship change, identity questions, or a tighter hold on everyday stress. International clients may be accepted; please confirm current session options before booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and emotions without getting controlled by them, then choose actions that match their values. This can help with depression, anxiety, addiction, and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and changing behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. It is often used for worry, mood, and eating-related problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and relationship conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. The process is collaborative and may combine techniques as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, enable shorter check-ins during a break, and let people meet from locations that suit their schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, thought-recording, and values work to an online setting so the practical parts of therapy remain useful without promising a particular format.
