Her background includes more than 17 years in psychiatric hospital settings and several years running a community outpatient practice. That mix of acute and ongoing care informs how she assesses problems and plans next steps. She combines problem-solving with resource suggestions so people can try concrete changes between sessions.

She helps people sort through grief and survivor feelings and offers tools to move toward healing.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and issues like anger that interfere with daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors. It can be useful for depression, sleep problems, anger management, and building practical coping skills.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. The therapist follows the client’s concerns and supports practical problem solving and self-reflection.
Deciding which approach feels right is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences rather than sticking to a single method from the start.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm the current online session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so therapy fits around work or caregiving. Ask about the specific formats offered and how they match your schedule before you schedule a first appointment.
