About Thérèse
She draws on client-centered work to listen without judgment and help people name what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused techniques are used to create practical strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. Mindfulness and narrative approaches help with processing grief and trauma at a manageable pace.
Her background includes extensive experience in medical and social services and roles supervising other social workers. That history informs a steady, experienced approach to complex situations such as chronic illness, caregiving strain, and end-of-life concerns. She aims to support realistic coping and decision-making during difficult times.
Sessions emphasize building strengths and practical tools. Clients work with the therapist to set achievable goals and practice new habits between meetings. Thérèse offers both short-term, solution-oriented work and longer-term emotional processing based on what a person needs.
People who seek her help often want straightforward guidance and steady support through change, grief, or burnout. She welcomes conversations about career, parenting challenges, addiction struggles, and the emotional impact of health issues. The focus is on clear steps forward and increasing day-to-day wellbeing.

How her approaches work for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist uses this approach to build trust and help clients identify their own goals and values. It is helpful for grief, relationship concerns, and when someone needs steady support.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. She uses CBT to help people reduce anxiety, manage mood, and develop problem-solving steps they can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. This can be useful for stress, sleep problems, and coping with ongoing health or caregiving demands.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Those conversations guide whether to focus on short-term strategies, deeper processing, or a mix of methods.
Confirm the session formats available before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also supports continuity of care when managing chronic illness, caregiving duties, or long-distance arrangements.
