BHow sessions work
How therapeutic methods translate to remote sessions
Theresa uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach centers on skill-building for anxiety and panic - learning breathing and grounding tools, and practicing steps to reduce avoidance. This approach targets day-to-day symptoms and helps people manage sudden panic or social fear.Another key emphasis is trauma-informed work, which looks at how past events affect current reactions. This involves pacing discussions, naming triggers, and developing strategies to feel more steady in stressful moments. It supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress and ongoing trauma effects.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. Theresa treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will adjust techniques to match a person's goals, routines, and preferences. She discusses options and checks in about what is helping or what needs to change.
