Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well to Online Sessions
Theresa Presley incorporates evidence-informed approaches that can be well suited to online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns in thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to respond differently to stressors, anxious spirals, and low mood. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps clients make sense of how past experiences may still affect the present, while building steadier coping strategies and a stronger sense of control in day-to-day life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and ongoing relationships shape connection, trust, and emotional needs, which can be especially helpful when relationship stress or parenting challenges feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa works collaboratively with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not helped before, and choose strategies that fit each person’s preferences and pace. Therapy can be adjusted over time as needs change, keeping the work practical and aligned with what matters most to the client.
Online therapy adds flexibility without losing structure. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, and also use live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. This range of options can make it easier to keep momentum, fit therapy into a busy week, and access help from a comfortable setting.
