Evidence-Informed Approaches, Made Accessible Online
Teresa Worthy integrates structured and supportive methods to help clients work through stress, anxiety, mood concerns, relationship strain, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns and daily habits, then practicing practical skills that can support steadier mood and clearer decision-making.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients build psychological flexibility by making room for difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. This approach can be especially useful when people feel stuck in worry, avoidance, or self-criticism. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes coping tools such as emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful when emotions feel intense or relationships feel hard to navigate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Teresa collaborates with clients to identify goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past, then adjusts the pace and tools accordingly.
