About Theresa
Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania psychologist with over 26 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with strong emotions, attention challenges, mood shifts, and the stress that comes from everyday life. Her style is practical and direct, aimed at helping clients feel more steady and in control.
Theresa draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor work to each person. She uses techniques that help people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also focuses on attachment patterns and building stronger ways of relating to others. Conversations are guided by the person's goals and paced to what feels manageable.
Her background includes long experience in child and adolescent psychiatric units and many years as a school psychologist. That work involved assessing learning and behavioral needs and designing IEPs and 504 plans to support school success. Those roles gave her detailed knowledge of how educational and medical systems work together for children and teens.
In private practice she has focused on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD in both children and adults. She can help people address codependency, grief, relationship problems, addiction concerns, and the fallout from major life changes. Theresa also supports people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness, and parenting strain.

How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can help with mood, anxiety, and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and pace. She checks in about what is working and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. Online work can also make it easier to continue care during school or work transitions and when juggling caregiving responsibilities.
