Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cicely utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her therapeutic sessions by facilitating discussions with clients regarding the interconnectedness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through these conversations, clients gain insights into how their thoughts impact their daily lives, enabling the identification of thought patterns that require modification. Cicely actively challenges these maladaptive thoughts and collaborates with clients to transform them into more constructive and beneficial ones. Consequently, clients undergo a shift in their perspectives, leading to a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
