VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this treatment method in the following ways: 1. Assessment Here, I use it to evaluate my patient's mental health and to identify specific issues and negative thought patterns. 2. Goal Setting Collaborate with my patients to set achievable goals tailored to their needs. 3. Intervention Cognitive Restructuring where I challenge and help change negative thoughts. Behavioral Activation where I encourage positive activities. Exposure Therapy where I gradually help them face their fears in a controlled manner. 4. Monitoring I use it to track progress and regularly review the patient's progress. Also helps to adjust treatment and modify the plan as needed for optimal outcomes.
