Her approach combines practical coping strategies with lifestyle habits. She teaches mindfulness and simple mind-body activities like walking or gentle movement. She also discusses sleep habits and nutrition as parts of managing mood and energy.
Sessions emphasize identifying what is within a person’s control and building a set of strategies to use between meetings. She offers straightforward, respectful guidance and helps people translate insights into concrete steps.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Therese describes her work as grounded in evidence-based techniques that focus on practical coping and lifestyle change. Mindfulness involves short, present-focused practices that help reduce anxiety and reactivity; it is useful for stress, sleep problems, and emotional regulation. Mind-body activities mean simple movement and breathing exercises, like walking with attention or gentle stretching, which can support mood and help with tension and sleep.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through symptoms, daily routines, and goals to decide which techniques to try first. Clients and therapist adjust methods over time based on what helps in day-to-day life.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins or when being on camera is difficult, while others allow longer, deeper conversations. Ask about the available session types when you schedule so you can pick what fits your schedule and needs.
