Background and approach
She focuses on building skills people can use between sessions. Her work is collaborative. Teresa helps people learn to speak up for themselves and advocate for their needs.
She supports exploration of values, thought patterns, and emotional responses so clients can make choices that match their goals. Teresa draws on several approaches including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based thinking, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral methods, and emotionally-focused strategies. Those tools are applied in ways that fit the person, not a fixed program.
She practices in Delaware and offers sessions in English. Teresa sees people for a wide range of concerns, including parenting-related struggles, caregiving stress, body image, eating issues, and work or career questions. Her aim is practical progress and clearer next steps.
People interested in working together can expect a steady, respectful partner who values their strengths. Teresa encourages small, sustainable changes and supports clients as they try new ways of coping.

Therapy Approaches and How They Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking actions that match those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and coping with life changes.Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape how people connect and respond to stress. This approach can be helpful for intimacy issues, relationship struggles, and healing responses tied to trauma.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms and build confidence. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and problem-solving around daily life challenges.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. Teresa will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to fit different needs. Video is good for a face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows more immediate check-ins, and messaging lets people write between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel while still focusing on meaningful change.
