About Teresa
Teresa Paris is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She has nine years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. Teresa focuses on building a respectful, compassionate connection so people feel understood and supported.
Her work begins by identifying a person's strengths and what matters most to them. She tailors conversations and plans to fit each person's situation instead of using one fixed method.
Background and approach
Teresa aims to make sessions practical and understandable so people can apply what they learn to their daily life. Teresa uses a mix of approaches that help with emotion regulation, relationships, and coping skills. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape feelings.
She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to notice patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. People often turn to her for help with parenting stress, low self-esteem, life changes, and relationship communication problems. She also supports those facing postpartum depression, panic attacks, grief, or challenges tied to cultural background or military life.
In sessions Teresa listens closely and works collaboratively to set small, achievable goals. She helps people practice new ways of responding to stress and strengthens the skills they already have. The aim is not quick fixes but steady, manageable progress toward a healthier day-to-day life.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Attachment-based Therapy looks at how relationships shape the way people trust and feel close to others. Online sessions can be used to talk through relationship patterns and practice new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and choosing actions that match your values; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replaces them with practical strategies to reduce symptoms like panic or low mood.Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Teresa will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools and pace as needed. This collaborative process lets the therapist and client test what helps and shift course when something isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reminders, or on-the-go support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, or travel while working on attachment, acceptance, and cognitive skills.
