VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using CBT to treat individuals with a variety of difficulties for 9 years. This modality of treatment is straightforward, providing education and a skills to assist individuals in reducing problematic symptoms.
Motivational Interviewing
I have been using motivational interviewing for 12 years. This method is so wonderful as it works closely with the person to review areas for change and finds intrinsic motivations within the individual to make changes.
