How Terri’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It supports work on issues like anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions by building small, meaningful behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and shifting thought and behavior patterns that feed depression, anxiety, or compulsive habits. It often includes simple homework and practical skills to try between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to reduce the intensity of painful memories and reactions and can help with trauma and grief when memories feel stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Terri will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they choose or blend methods so sessions match the client’s needs and pace in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls let people meet face to face when a full session is needed. Phone sessions are useful when lower bandwidth or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to get support between calls or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy routines and make it simpler to keep working on goals.
