Online support

Attachment and Practical Therapies Online

Teresa often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand emotional needs and build more supported ways of relating. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors in everyday life. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into workable steps.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Teresa talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adjusts methods as they go. She combines attachment perspectives, CBT, and mindful practices when that fits the person’s situation, and checks in regularly about what is helping.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow conversational, face-to-face work when a deeper exchange is helpful. Phone sessions and live chat can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Text-based messaging supports ongoing coaching-style check-ins and skill practice between meetings. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or school schedules while maintaining continuity of care.
