Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Teresa Worthy integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of responding, which can be especially helpful for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and day-to-day coping. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that align with personal values, supporting people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles of avoidance. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication, which can be useful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel strained.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Teresa works collaboratively with each client to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adapts the work over time so therapy feels relevant and supportive.
Online therapy also makes it easier to fit care into real life. Sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients options for different comfort levels, schedules, and communication styles.
