What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavior therapy is helping them understand how negative thoughts can lead to negative actions and feelings. I enjoy assisting clients in learning new behaviors so that they can achieve the results that they want.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy: problem-solving skills, SMART goals, stress reduction, deep breathing, and journaling.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when I review the progress of their treatment with my client.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

I encourage clients to reflect and journal so that it is easier to communicate progress or lack of progress in treatment.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for cognitive behavioral therapy, an individual must understand that in order to make progress we need to be truthful, honest, and intentional.

Responsive, timely and friendly customer service. My first appointment with my new therapist was great. I like how the staff was knowledgeable with insurance and the types of treatments each therapist specializes in to help me make the right decision in choosing my own therapist. Thanks Thriveworks!
