How CBT and the Gottman Method Inform Online Work

Teresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change patterns of thinking that worsen stress, anxiety, or depression; CBT focuses on practical skills like thought records and behavior experiments that people can use between sessions.

The Gottman Method she uses emphasizes clear communication and repair strategies for relationship strain; it offers simple exercises to reduce conflict and rebuild connection over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals and lifestyle, and she adjusts plans as progress and feedback guide the work.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce commute time, allow a shorter check-in during a lunch break, or make it simpler to meet when travel is difficult. Licensed professionals can also assign short practical exercises to practice between meetings so change happens during everyday routines.
