Background and approach

This combination helps with emotional overwhelm, worry, and the fatigue that comes from long-term stress. Her practice is practical and down-to-earth. Clients learn tools for managing strong feelings, handling workplace strain, and rebuilding self-compassion.

She also addresses relationship patterns that show up as abandonment fears, attachment wounds, or codependency. Teri supports people working through caregiver stress, family of origin issues, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. She frames change as a gradual process and offers concrete strategies for each step.

Communication skills and setting healthy boundaries are common topics in sessions. People who prefer an exploratory, collaborative approach may find her style helpful. She combines client-centered listening with practical techniques from CBT and DBT.

The aim is to help clients feel more able to manage emotions and move toward goals they care about.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Somatic-informed work pays attention to how the body shows stress and tension. Online sessions can include guided body awareness, breath work, and help noticing physical signs of anxiety to reduce overwhelm. This approach is useful for strong emotions and chronic stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and how early connection shapes present feelings. In teletherapy, conversations look at how clients relate to others and practice new ways of communicating and setting boundaries. This approach often helps with abandonment fears, trust issues, and recurring relationship patterns.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration. The therapist offers a supportive space and follows the client's lead while helping clarify goals. Together the client and therapist decide which approaches to use and adjust them over time based on needs and preferences.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Teri will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, comfort, and daily life. That can mean trying different tools and adjusting the plan as progress happens.

Online therapy makes sessions more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face connection, phone sessions remove travel, and live chat or text sessions offer brief check-ins and ongoing support. These options can fit busy schedules and make it easier to use skills in real time between sessions.
