How Terri's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and moving forward after loss or change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people understand patterns in closeness and trust. It can assist with intimacy, abandonment, and attachment-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Terri will collaborate with each person to see which methods match their goals and preferences. She combines techniques as needed and checks in regularly to adjust the plan based on progress and feedback.
