Theresa Bradbury

Theresa Bradbury is a Pennsylvania psychologist with more than 26 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage symptoms from trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, ADHD, and addiction. Her work also covers relationship and family stress, parenting challenges, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes.

Theresa spent over a decade on child and adolescent units at a psychiatric hospital, where she supported young people with emotional and behavioral dysregulation. She later served as an educational consultant, assessing children with diagnoses such as attention disorders, autism spectrum presentations, eating disorders, and mood conditions. She developed individualized education plans and 504 plans to support students returning to their home schools.

She also worked many years as a school psychologist in public schools, administering and interpreting psychoeducational testing. That background gives her practical knowledge of how schools and the legal aspects of education interact. Families often consult her about school progress and planning.

In private practice, Theresa has pursued advanced study in post-traumatic stress, anger management, depression, and ADHD for both children and adults. Her approach emphasizes clear steps people can take to regain control and improve daily functioning. She aims to help clients set realistic goals and build skills that fit their lives.

How her approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while managing painful thoughts. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress that gets in the way of living the way someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger by offering concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, helping people understand connection and trust issues and work toward healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on what helps most.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue care while managing work, school, or parenting responsibilities. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-based techniques to an online setting so people still practice skills and track progress between meetings.
