VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based and widely used form of psychotherapy that’s helped many people around the world. Therapists use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people with mental and physical health challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and chronic pain. The goal of CBT is to help you adapt and change your mindset and behaviors by reassessing distorted thought patterns.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is one of the world's most widely used therapeutic treatments. Unlike traditional forms of therapy that take time to analyze problems, pathology, and past life events, SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring one’s hope for the future to find a quick and pragmatic resolution to one’s problems. This method takes the approach that you know what you need to do to improve your life and, with the appropriate coaching and questioning, can find the best solutions.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that is designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. This technique engages areas of the brain to balance logic and emotion with the target of resolving negative core self-beliefs.
