VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I've been using CBT in my practice for the past eight years. CBT focuses on developing healthier ways of managing your thoughts, emotions, and behavior. The main principle of this treatment method is to increase awareness of your negative thinking and unhelpful behaviors so you can respond to challenges in a more productive way. CBT is useful for treating many different issues, including depression, anxiety, emotional trauma, and grief and loss.
