Reality therapy is a client-centered form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on improving present relationships and circumstances, with less concern and discussion of past events. This approach is based on the idea that our most important need is to be loved, to feel that we belong and that all other basic needs can be satisfied only by building strong connections with others. Reality therapy sees behavior as choices, and it teaches us that while we cannot control how we feel, we can control how we think and behave.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on modifying dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts by interrogating and uprooting negative or irrational beliefs. Considered a "solutions-oriented" form of talk therapy, CBT rests on the idea that thoughts and perceptions influence behavior.
Eclectic therapists do not limit themselves to any single approach or method, but select techniques from a variety of sources without necessarily subscribing to just one theory. This method allows the therapist to follow the lead of the session and provide the client what they need based on what is discussed and goals agreed upon.

Not only is she empowering, she authentic, she’s not the traditional therapist, the session felt like a spiritual awakening with laughter, instead of it being boring and telling me everything I wanna hear to feel better. Challenging but in a warm way that leads to reflection and self awareness!
