About Theresa Shultz
In sessions, Theresa aims to be warm, attentive, and non-judgmental while also being direct and honest. She does not tell clients how to live their lives. Instead, she offers steady support and practical tools to help people clarify what they want to change, identify meaningful goals, and take step-by-step action toward them. Therapy is approached as a collaborative partnership, with progress guided by the client’s priorities and pace.
Theresa’s work is informed by her own recovery experience and a deep respect for the change process. Depending on a client’s needs and treatment goals, she may use solution-focused strategies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness-based practices, and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients build coping skills, strengthen insight, and move forward with greater intention.

Therapeutic Tools That Translate Well Online
Theresa Shultz draws from practical, skills-based approaches that can work especially well in online therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, then practicing new strategies that better support day-to-day functioning, especially when stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship tension are getting in the way.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while also reconnecting with personal values and taking steps toward what matters most. Mindfulness-based work can complement this by strengthening present-moment awareness and helping clients respond to challenges with more steadiness instead of reacting on autopilot.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Theresa collaborates with clients to clarify goals, understand what has and has not worked before, and choose tools that fit each person’s needs, preferences, and pace. The work can be adjusted over time as goals become clearer and progress unfolds.
Online therapy also makes it easier to stay consistent. Clients can meet by video calls or phone sessions, or use live chat and text-based messaging for added flexibility, support between sessions, and access that fits busy schedules and changing routines.
