About Theresa

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS 006223 L) with 26 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anger, trauma, depression, ADHD, anxiety, stress, and related challenges. Her work includes helping individuals manage intense emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Bradbury spent much of her career in child and adolescent units at a psychiatric hospital. She served as an educational consultant assessing children with conditions such as ADD, Tourette's, autism, intellectual disability, anorexia, depression, and OCD. She helped develop IEPs and 504 plans to support students returning to their schools.

She later worked as a school psychologist in public schools, including twelve years in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. That role involved administering and interpreting many psychoeducational tests and working with education and legal systems on students' academic plans.

In private practice she has focused on PTSD, anger management, depression, and ADHD for both children and adults. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-based perspectives, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.

Theresa writes plainly about current stressors such as the pandemic and economic strain and invites people who are feeling overwhelmed to seek support. She communicates practical steps for managing behavior, improving communication, and addressing the effects of trauma and life changes.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for managing anger, worry, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior and trying small experiments to change them. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and anger management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will review what is most helpful based on a person’s goals, experiences, and preferences. She aims to collaborate on which techniques to use and adjusts focus as needs shift over time.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Online sessions can support regular practice of skills between meetings and make it simpler to involve school or work-related scheduling when that is important.
