VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. Over the years, I have utilized CBT to help patients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My training includes advanced courses and practical application of CBT techniques in various clinical settings. In my practice, I use CBT to treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, depression, and trauma. I work with patients to identify negative thought patterns and replace them with more positive and realistic ones. Through structured sessions, we set goals and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms. This method empowers patients to take control of their mental health by actively participating in their treatment and practicing new skills in their daily lives.
Motivational Interviewing
I have substantial experience incorporating Motivational Interviewing (MI) into my therapeutic approach. I have completed specialized training in MI and have applied this technique in diverse settings, from outpatient clinics to assisted living facilities. In my practice, I use MI to engage patients who may be ambivalent about making changes to their behavior. This client-centered technique involves exploring and resolving ambivalence, thereby enhancing motivation and commitment to change. I guide patients through reflective listening and open-ended questions, helping them articulate their reasons for change and build confidence in their ability to achieve their goals. MI is particularly effective in addressing substance use disorders, lifestyle changes, and adherence to treatment plans.
Psychoeducation
I have a broad background in providing psychoeducation to patients and their families. My experience includes delivering psychoeducational sessions in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, and community settings. In my practice, I use psychoeducation to inform patients about their mental health conditions, treatment options, and coping strategies. This involves teaching patients about the biological, psychological, and social aspects of their conditions, as well as how to manage symptoms and prevent relapse. By providing clear, understandable information, I empower patients and their families to make informed decisions about their care. Psychoeducation is integrated into all stages of treatment, ensuring that patients have the knowledge and resources they need to actively participate in their recovery journey.
