Online support
Approaches for online relationship and life challenges
Teresa often uses the Gottman Method to look at how partners communicate, solve problems, and rebuild trust. This approach concentrates on practical skills for handling conflict and strengthening everyday connection.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and move toward values-based action. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy is another tool she draws on to understand patterns that come from early relationships and to improve emotional safety in close connections.
Choosing the right method is a shared process. Teresa will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they pick or combine approaches and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
