VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My priority is to create a safe and accepting environment for my clients to feel empowered and encouraged to explore and share their thoughts and feelings. Through open ended questions, active listening, empathy will encourage my client to lead the direction of the therapy, thus assisting the client in discovering their own solutions by bringing clarity to the surface.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution focused therapy will focus on solution rather than on the problem. Assisting the client in identifying and exploring previous difficulties and how they were addressed in the past. In doing so the client can discover and utilize resources needed to co-construct a practical and sustainable solution that can readily implemented to promote a solution.
Psychodynamic
Psychodynamic therapy focuses more on problem-solving and outcomes, as opposed to delving into issues that may arise from early life experience. This type of therapy will help the client gain insight and to develop self-awareness and problem-solving skills relating to one’s thoughts and emotions and its effects on actions and behaviors. Wrestling with thoughts and feelings can be exhausting, this is where talk therapy can help shed light on the issue thus working toward the desired change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) will help my client to recognize negative thoughts and by further exploring will help the client to discover how their emotions and thoughts can affect their actions. Helping the client to focus more on the present and less on the past can open doors to developing coping strategies to better deal with any current stressors.
