How her approaches shape online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past and current relationships affect feelings of safety and trust. It helps people notice patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel healthier. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence mood and behavior and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions in relationships and helps people name feelings and respond to them in clearer ways.Choosing an approach is a shared process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as work progresses.
