How Theresa Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Theresa works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. CBT focuses on practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful thinking and improve daily functioning. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, handling conflict, and increasing distress tolerance. It is especially useful for people who want hands-on tools to steady intense moods.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who feel unsure about change. That approach centers on listening, exploring ambivalence, and strengthening personal motivation. Theresa frames treatment as a collaboration and will help decide which methods fit best based on each person’s goals and situation.
