About Theresa
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania psychologist who blends practical therapy with steady, experience-based care. She draws on 26 years in mental health to help people manage anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, and phobias. Theresa speaks plainly and focuses on real-world strategies families and individuals can use day to day.
She spent many years in child and adolescent psychiatric units and as a school psychologist. That background gives her a clear view of how behavior, learning, and mood interact at school and at home.
Background and approach
She has assessed many students and helped plan Individualized Education Programs and 504 accommodations. In independent practice she has focused on PTSD, anger management, depression, and attention-deficit concerns in children and adults. Her work includes coaching around stress, coping with life changes, and caregiver strain.
Therapies she uses include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. Theresa also helps people who struggle with addictions, sleep and eating problems, relationship and intimacy issues, and career or self-esteem concerns. She understands how medical conditions, blended family situations, and major life events can add stress.

Approaches for online work and what they do
Theresa uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people link thoughts, feelings, and actions so they can try small changes and track what helps. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and phobias.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck and commit to values-based action. ACT can be helpful for stress, chronic health challenges, and coping with major life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Theresa talks with each person about goals and preferences and adapts methods over time. She works collaboratively to choose techniques that fit daily life and the problems the person wants to address.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a more personal session and working through exercises together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Short check-ins or written reflections work well by live chat or text and can fit into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around school, work, or caregiving demands.
