Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

I believe what happens between sessions is just as important as what takes place in session. I will, at times, offer "homework" for my clients to work on at home to help further the therapeutic process. I also am a fan of offering outside resources which may be beneficial to my clients. Some of these resources may include group counseling, peer support groups, bibliotherapy, creative expression, and more.

I believe in assisting my patients with challenging negative belief systems and to help them to find self-acceptance.

Using I-CBT, we can work through OCD and identify where the obsessional reasoning comes from before the doubt begins. This is a different way to look at OCD from a "Front end" perspective rather than trying to lessen the anxiety or compulsions in a "back end " kind of therapy like ACT or EXP. If you have not tried I-CBT, is it work seeing if the stories that OCD tells you are based on reality or the imagination and possibilities? If you have OCD, and want some relief, I-CBT may be for you.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been part of my approach working in agencies, clinics, and private practice. I have found CBT to be useful for short-term solution focused counseling and for self-care and symptom management for more in-depth psychotherapy as well. Mindfulness approaches have become a welcome recent development in CBT. It is a versatile way of supporting clients to regulate their nervous systems while also dealing with major life stressors or with a difficult personal history.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and transform unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that may be holding you back. By understanding the connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions, we work together to challenge negative thought patterns and replace them with healthier, more constructive perspectives. CBT is a practical, evidence-based approach that equips you with tools to manage stress, improve problem-solving, and create lasting change in your life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven to effectively address mood instability, cognitive distortions and poor coping skills that increase an individual's depression and anxiety.

I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in my practice. This approach addresses various symptoms by targeting the underlying thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that contribute to them. CBT helps you recognize and challenge irrational or distorted thoughts. This involves examining the evidence for and against these thoughts and developing more balanced and realistic thinking patterns. CBT additionally helps you develop effective coping strategies to manage symptoms.

Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen a person's emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. CBT helps identify these thoughts and challenges and replaces them with more objective, realistic, and helpful thoughts.

With a certificate in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) from the Feeling Good Center, I have practiced CBT with adults and teens for years. I will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan to identify your current patterns and help you to create new ones.

CBT and changing behaviors is how I measure change with my clients. I believe in being proactive instead of reactive when it comes to managing a client's behavior in adults and children. Our behavior is what makes or breaks relationships.

CBT skills will focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing personal coping strategies.

We all have unhelpful thoughts/beliefs that have been reinforced over time through childhood, fears, society, & experiences. These unhelpful thoughts can be so internalized they feel true & impact how we respond, but they aren't always the most helpful/accurate thoughts for the situation. CBT helps us notice the thoughts & behaviors that perpetuate unhelpful patterns in life, so that we can dispute these thoughts/behavior reactions and replace them with more helpful ones.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a powerful tool I use to help clients understand the link between their thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions, we'll explore patterns of thinking that may be holding you back and work on strategies to challenge and change them. CBT isn’t just about solving current problems, it’s about equipping you with skills to better handle future ones too. This approach is a journey of self-discovery and growth, and I'm here to guide you through it.

This approach is liked by the insurance companies. Why? Because goals and how to get to the goals are measured. Goals are more concrete and there is "homework" between sessions such as journaling or meditation.
