How her approaches fit into online therapy

Tressa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking patterns that keep problems going. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills and present-moment attention to reduce reactivity and build calm in daily life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and life demands, and together they decide which methods to try first. Over time they may blend techniques to match progress and changing needs.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also support steady practice of skills between sessions and make it simpler to coordinate care around work, family, or health commitments.
