VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a method that I have used in various therapeutic settings to help individuals manage a range of psychological issues. - Identifying Negative Thoughts: CBT helps my clients identify negative thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress or unhelpful behaviors1. - Challenging Beliefs: I work with clients to challenge and reframe these negative thoughts into more positive, realistic ones. - Behavioral Experiments: I utilize CBT with clients to test these new thought patterns in real-life situations to see the impact on their emotions and behaviors. - Skills Training: I practice CBT with teaching practical skills like problem-solving, stress management, and assertiveness training. - Homework Assignments: Clients are often given tasks to practice outside of therapy sessions to reinforce what they’ve learned. - Role-Playing: This CBT technique can be used to practice social skills and prepare for potentially challenging interactions. - Relaxation Techniques: CBT may incorporate methods like deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation to help reduce anxiety. - Mindfulness: Incorporating mindfulness techniques helps clients focus on the present moment and reduce rumination. - Exposure Therapy: For clients with phobias or anxiety, CBT can involve gradual exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance behaviors. - Cognitive Restructuring: This involves identifying and disputing irrational or maladaptive thoughts and replacing them with more balanced thoughts.
