Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Helping clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by breaking down negative patterns and reframing them into healthier, more realistic perspectives. This approach is used to develop practical strategies that clients can apply to manage stress, reduce overthinking, and improve emotional resilience in their daily lives.
Positive Psychology
Focused on enhancing well-being by helping clients identify and build on their strengths, cultivate gratitude, and foster a sense of purpose. It emphasizes developing positive emotions and resilience, guiding clients toward thriving rather than simply addressing problems.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Helping clients embrace difficult emotions and thoughts instead of avoiding them, while focusing on taking action aligned with their values. In therapy, ACT is used to teach mindfulness skills and promote psychological flexibility, helping clients commit to meaningful behaviors even in the presence of discomfort.
