How chosen approaches translate to online work
Theresa frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT helps people break down problems into concrete steps and practice new responses to stressful social situations or anxious thoughts.She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches practical techniques for managing strong emotions and staying present during difficult interactions, which can be useful for social anxiety and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what fits and what matters most to the client.
