Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ve found it to be an effective treatment method for addressing various mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. I use CBT to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In practice, I start with an initial assessment to identify problematic thought patterns and behaviors. Together with the client, we set clear, achievable goals. Throughout the sessions, I teach clients how to challenge and reframe negative thoughts, develop healthier behaviors, and implement coping strategies. By doing so, clients learn to manage their symptoms more effectively and improve their overall well-being.
