Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT with clients involves helping them identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that affect their emotional well-being.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT helps clients build psychological flexibility, enabling them to be more present, open, and engaged in their lives
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-centered therapy, also known as client-centered therapy, focuses on the client's experience and their own knowledge and insight. I encourage clients to explore their feelings and thoughts without judgment.
