Evidence-based approaches and online care

Teresa draws on well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and post-traumatic stress. One common approach involves gradual processing of traumatic memories while teaching practical coping skills to manage intense emotions and flashbacks. This helps people reduce symptom impact and build tolerance for difficult memories. Another often-used method focuses on skill-building for stress management and emotional regulation, teaching grounding, breathing, and routine strategies that reduce daily symptom burden and improve functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Teresa collaborates with each person to determine which techniques match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adjusts pacing and methods based on what the client notices is helpful, so treatment feels personal and practical.

In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, avoid travel time, and check in from a quieter environment. It can also support shorter, focused check-ins when needed and let people choose whether to use video or audio depending on what works best for them.
