Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT with clients by identifying troubling situations, then assisting clients become aware of their associated thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with the clients to challenge and reframe negative thought patterns, implementing behavioral changes and strategies like exposure and relaxation techniques to solve problems assisting clients develop healthier coping skills.
