VirtualMy treatment methods
Attachment-based
In my practice, I employ Attachment-Based Treatment (ABT) as a therapeutic approach to foster and enhance secure emotional bonds between individuals, typically focusing on parent-child relationships. Through this method, I work collaboratively with clients to explore and understand their attachment patterns, aiming to strengthen positive connections and address any disruptions. By creating a safe and supportive environment, ABT facilitates healing and promotes healthier relationships, ultimately contributing to emotional resilience and well-rounded personal growth.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a dynamic and goal-oriented approach to address various psychological challenges. CBT is grounded in the understanding that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. Together, we identify and examine negative thought patterns that may contribute to emotional distress or problematic behaviors. Through collaborative efforts, we work on restructuring these thoughts and developing healthier cognitive patterns, which, in turn, can lead to positive changes in emotions and behaviors.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
In my practice, I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as a transformative approach that focuses on acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action to enhance psychological flexibility. ACT encourages clients to accept their thoughts and emotions rather than avoiding or suppressing them. We work together to identify core values that guide meaningful life goals, and then develop strategies to commit to actions aligned with those values. By practicing mindfulness and cultivating a willingness to experience difficult thoughts and feelings, clients often find increased flexibility in responding to life's challenges.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
In my practice, I integrate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) as a targeted and evidence-based method to address the impact of traumatic experiences. CPT is rooted in cognitive-behavioral principles and focuses on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns related to the trauma. Together, we work through the cognitive processing of the traumatic event, aiming to modify distorted beliefs and perceptions that may contribute to emotional distress. Through this structured and collaborative process, clients often experience a shift in their understanding of the traumatic experience and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Humanistic
In my practice, I employ a Humanistic Therapy approach that prioritizes the uniqueness and inherent worth of each individual. Humanistic therapy emphasizes creating a supportive and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a deeply personal way. I focus on fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal growth, allowing clients to tap into their own inner resources and potential. Through empathetic understanding and genuine connection, we collaborate to explore and clarify your values, goals, and the aspects of your life that bring meaning and fulfillment.
