BHow sessions work
How Teresa uses CBT, DBT, and mindfulness online
Teresa often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, activity planning, and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. DBT work usually includes practicing specific skills during sessions and applying them to heated moments or relationship strain. Mindfulness Therapy is used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Simple attention and breathing exercises are practiced to help with stress, rumination, and social anxiety. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to pick which methods to try based on goals, daily demands, and what feels manageable. She adjusts pacing and homework to fit the client’s routine. Confirm which session formats she currently offers before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online appointments helpful for fitting sessions into busy schedules, requiring less travel, and making it easier to keep regular meetings.
