She also addresses concerns like sleep problems, anger, and career stress. Her experience includes work with identity and LGBT matters.
In sessions she helps people set small goals, practice new skills, and track progress. The tone is practical and hopeful. Teresa supports people who want steady, collaborative work toward stronger coping and more satisfying relationships.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Teresa uses the Gottman Method along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered techniques to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on practical exercises that improve communication and reduce conflict, useful for people wanting clearer interaction patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and empathy so the person leads the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made along the way so the work stays practical and meaningful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are helpful for face-to-face conversation and practicing communication exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep progress going from different settings.
