Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Theresa integrates Jungian Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy into online sessions. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, dreams, and recurring life themes to uncover deeper meaning that can influence mood and behavior; it can be helpful for people seeking insight and personal growth. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, and it helps people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Theresa will talk with each client about their goals, history, and day-to-day needs and then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer different practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and observing body language. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a camera is not wanted. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, ongoing processing between sessions, and for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
