My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT by utilizing collaborative structured techniques to help the client become aware of how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. I teach them about various skills and encourage the client to utilize them consistently to restructure their thoughts to lead to positive behavioral changes and improved ways of coping.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
By utilizing Person-Centered in therapy with the client I work to build individualized therapeutic rapport with unconditional positive regard and accepting the client without judgment encouraging progress toward self growth and fulfillment.
Strength-Based
When using Strength-Based Theory I encourage the client to utilize their existing strengths, values, abilities, and resources to reframe problems, support positive changes, and progress toward their therapeutic goals.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use Mindfulness-Based Therapy by encouraging the client to have an awareness of the present moment with increased acceptance and without judgement to reduce emotional suffering and improve thoughts, feelings, and self regulation. Some of the tools that I like to utilize include breathwork, body scans, and grounding techniques.
