Supportive
In my practice, I use supportive therapy to help patients strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and maintain psychological stability during periods of stress or vulnerability. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, reassurance, and validation while reinforcing patients’ existing strengths and adaptive behaviors. I focus on clarifying emotions, offering realistic perspective, and providing encouragement and guidance without challenging core defenses, which helps patients feel understood and supported. Supportive therapy is tailored to the patient’s current level of functioning and is often integrated with medication management to promote resilience, enhance insight, and support day-to-day functioning.

She was very sweet and I enjoyed the fact she actually wants to get down to the root of my issues instead of trying to push pills, but still getting me the help I need in the meantime.
