VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice because it can help with a range of mental health issues. I also use CBT with other therapies as it teaches one coping skills for dealing with different problems. When I use CBT I focus on your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes that affect your feelings and actions. I also use CBT for substance-abuse, multiple medical issues such as chronic illness and many others issues that may arise in your life for the overall health and well being.

Using the methods of Rational Emotive Therapy can change one's thoughts and feelings by disputing irrational beliefs about oneself which in essence can modify or change behavior to the desired results for a more fulfulling, satisfying life.
