VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past five years. It’s helped dozens of clients challenge reoccurring thoughts and manage their anxiety. We’ll use CBT to recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other. We’ll then use that knowledge to change your thinking patterns, which will help you lead a less anxious and stressed life.
Trauma Informed Care
Positive psychology can help people learn to cultivate mindfulness, expand positive experiences, and integrate new practices into their lives. These practices can include: Gratitude, Personal strengths, Humor and lightness, Activities, and Kindness and love.
Compassion Focused
This therapy encourages individuals to develop a kind, nurturing, and non-judgmental attitude toward themselves and others, promoting emotional healing and resilience. Through a combination of mindfulness, imagery exercises, and cognitive techniques, CFT helps clients reframe negative self-judgments, manage difficult emotions, and reduce self-criticism. The ultimate goal is to create a compassionate inner environment, improving mental well-being and fostering healthier interpersonal relationships.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps clients by teaching them skills to manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and reduce harmful behaviors. Therapists use DBT by focusing on four main areas: mindfulness (being present), distress tolerance (handling crises without escalation), emotion regulation (understanding and controlling emotions), and interpersonal effectiveness (assertive communication). The therapist provides both individual therapy and skills training in a group setting, using a balance of validation (acknowledging the client’s struggles) and problem-solving to foster change.
