Background and approach
Thea focuses on practical, skill-based strategies to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, and ADHD among other issues. Her style blends collaborative, client-centered care with evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness practices.
Thea aims to support people in stabilizing emotions, clarifying values, and improving coping and communication skills. She works with individuals, families, children, adolescents, and small groups, drawing on varied settings experience to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.
Clients can expect a practical and empathetic stance that prioritizes concrete tools alongside exploration of patterns and relationships. Thea frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on achievable change and greater resilience in everyday life.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed action toward those values while developing skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and adjustment challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured techniques and practical homework, which often helps with mood, stress, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment needs to improve relational connection and communication in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Thea will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their preferences, and adjust strategies over time so therapy reflects each person’s needs and the progress they want to make.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to continue therapy from a convenient location, allowing clients to integrate strategies into daily life while maintaining consistent contact with a licensed professional.
