VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my clinical practice, I have been using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). By examining our inner dialogue, thoughts, and the narratives we tell ourselves, we can gain insight into our beliefs and how they influence our behavior, whether consciously or unconsciously. CBT is a powerful therapeutic tool that helps clients discover themselves and learn new approaches to navigate their lives.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness involves being present in the moment and understanding what is necessary for the here and now. We frequently become so engrossed in daily tasks that we let these responsibilities turn into fear, worry, and overwhelming stress. Therefore, developing healthy habits that keep us grounded, enable problem-solving, and allow us to progress is crucial for wellness.
Gestalt
Addressing issues directly has its merits. The ability to face, confront, and tackle problems head-on can be challenging, but it is crucial for gaining an understanding of the situations we encounter, acknowledging their impact on our lives, and then taking the necessary steps to move forward.
Trauma Informed Care
Life presents us with experiences that shape our future and alter our perception of the present. Confronting trauma, examining the circumstances, and discovering ways to cope are daunting tasks. Yet, they lead to the reward of becoming a recognizable self, transformed and in command of one's life and direction.
Christian Counseling
Mental health and wellness intersect with the tenets of Christian faith in profound ways. The Bible often provides affirming and encouraging guidance that lays the foundation for techniques and coping skills used in counseling. Christian counseling is an approach that offers mental and spiritual fulfillment.
