Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational approach in my clinical work. Trained in evidence-based practices, I have used CBT with clients across a wide range of presentations, including anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, and stress-related issues. My approach emphasizes helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop more adaptive coping strategies, and engage in behavioral experiments to promote meaningful change. In practice, I tailor CBT interventions to each individual’s needs, often incorporating tools such as thought records, behavioral activation plans, and cognitive restructuring techniques. I also prioritize psychoeducation, ensuring that clients understand the rationale behind each intervention. When appropriate, I integrate mindfulness-based strategies and elements of third-wave CBT approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), to address cognitive rigidity and promote psychological flexibility.
