Online support
Approach and online care tailored to your needs
Therese uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on practical coping skills. One common approach emphasizes learning specific tools to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing methods, activity planning, and breaking problems into smaller steps. These techniques help when worry interferes with day-to-day tasks or sleep.Another approach centers on working through the effects of trauma and abuse by pacing conversations and building skills to tolerate difficult memories and feelings. This work aims to reduce the emotional intensity that follows traumatic events and to strengthen a person's ability to handle reminders and triggers.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they decide on strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made, so treatment fits the person's life and needs.
Online therapy offers flexible options including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, and timely support that fits into a busy schedule.
