How Teresa’s approaches translate to online work

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try small, practical behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression. CBT is useful for stress management, coping with life changes, and improving daily routines.

She also draws on the Gottman Method to address relationship patterns and communication habits. This approach focuses on skills couples can practice, such as clearer conversations and conflict tools, and it can be helpful for intimacy issues, infidelity, and rebuilding trust.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Teresa works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what is working and what feels most useful in everyday life.
