About Theresa
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania Licensed Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS 006223 L) with 26 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with intense emotions, behavior problems, mood disorders, and disruptions at home or school. Her work covers trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, addictions, and stress related to life changes and disasters.
She has spent years working with children and adolescents in psychiatric hospital units and public schools. That background gave her hands-on experience creating individualized education plans and addressing learning and behavior challenges. She has administered and interpreted many psychoeducational tests and supported students returning to school environments.
In private practice she focuses on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a single rigid method. Sessions aim to reduce distress, improve daily functioning, and strengthen coping skills.
Theresa is familiar with the effects of widespread disruption, including coping with natural or human-caused disaster and the stresses that follow. She also assists with family-related strains such as blended family issues, divorce and separation, and caregiver stress.
Theresa communicates in English and practices in Pennsylvania. She does not take international clients. To start therapy, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful habits. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger. Attachment-Based Therapy addresses relationship patterns that start in early life and impact current connections and emotional regulation; it can be useful for intimacy issues and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily demands. Sessions can mix techniques over time as needs evolve rather than sticking to a single model.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or use a simpler check-in when life is hectic. It also lets people continue care when public situations, like community disruptions or disaster recovery, make travel or in-person visits difficult. Ask about format details when you schedule to make sure they suit your routine and technology.
