Background and approach
He respects each person's pace and priorities during sessions. His approach also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. That can look like breaking problems into smaller steps and trying experiments between sessions.
He uses emotionally-focused ideas when relationships and attachment issues are central to a concern. Over 14 years of work have included helping people with parenting stress, sleep and eating struggles, compassion fatigue, and chronic illness or caregiving burdens. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, and body image worries.
Practical tools and small, achievable goals are typical parts of his work. Sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Dr.
Teller describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the goals and he helps map out steps to reach them.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the person's lead to set goals and pace. Online sessions can use that same stance so the person guides what topics come up and how quickly to move forward.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. In online sessions this often includes short exercises, thought records, and homework that fit into daily life to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or change avoidance patterns.
Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on emotions and attachment patterns in relationships. Over video or phone, it can help people describe emotions more clearly, notice patterns in how they respond, and practice new ways of connecting or communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to pick methods that match goals, preferences, and the problem at hand. That means checking in about what helps and adjusting techniques as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and schedules. Video is useful for full sessions with visual cues, phone works well when the connection or bandwidth is limited, live chat can allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, and text messaging supports brief updates or between-session contact. These options help make therapy fit school, work, caregiving, or travel constraints.
