VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help individuals reframe negative thoughts and adopt healthier behaviors, leading to improved emotional regulation, problem-solving, and resilience, which fosters greater success in daily life.
Eclectic
Eclectic therapy is a flexible, integrative approach that combines techniques from various therapeutic modalities to best suit an individual's needs. By tailoring treatment to the person rather than adhering to a single method, it helps individuals develop personalized coping strategies, improve emotional well-being, and enhance problem-solving skills, leading to greater success in daily life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) is a goal-oriented approach that emphasizes finding solutions rather than focusing on problems. It helps individuals identify strengths, set realistic goals, and develop practical strategies to create positive change. By fostering a forward-thinking mindset and building confidence in one’s abilities, SFT promotes resilience and problem-solving skills, leading to greater success in daily life.
Strength-Based
Strengths-Based Therapy focuses on identifying and utilizing an individual’s strengths, abilities, and resources to foster personal growth and resilience. By emphasizing what a person does well rather than their weaknesses, this approach builds confidence, motivation, and problem-solving skills, helping individuals navigate challenges and achieve greater success in daily life.
