Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. CBT can be an effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage stressful life situations and it can quickly help you identify and cope with specific challenges. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy. I have past experience utilizing this type of therapy with children and adults.
Reality Therapy
Reality therapy focuses more on an individual's current state and places less importance on past experiences or the presence of mental health conditions. It emphasizes the impact of choice in your actions, which creates accountability for your behaviors.
Christian Counseling
