What can clients do in their personal time to supplement couples/marriage counseling?

Jacquelyn Farasat
Jacquelyn Farasat

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with the daily practice of relevant strategies introduced in counseling sessions.

What is your go-to approach for child therapy?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

My go-to approach for helping kids in child therapy starts with a thorough assessment with the child's caregiver(s) to determine the child's specific needs. With younger children, and with children who engage in maladaptive behaviors, their caregiver's involvement in the therapeutic process is essential. Sometimes, I will meet with parents for several sessions before introducing the child.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in depression counseling?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

I know when a client is making meaningful progress when they present with a more positive affect, when they can more easily engage in self-affirmation, and they consistently meet their treatment goals and objective. An increase in social engagement and engagement in interests can also serve as metrics for treatment progress.

What should someone do to prepare for starting anxiety therapy?

Brian Mullan
Brian Mullan

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

To prepare for your first session to treat anxiety disorder, you can and should think about what you would like the experience to feel and look like. How would you like to feel after a few therapy sessions? Think about that, and then communicate that to your prospective therapist either beforehand or at the intake to make sure it's a good fit for you.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

Mark Bingel McKillips
Mark Bingel McKillips

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)

Some of the skills that I introduce from the CBT model include:
  • Mindfulness - Nonjudgmental awareness of internal and external experiences.
  • Cognitive restructuring - This involves modifying a thought to be more helpful and productive.
  • Thought stopping - Interrupting a distressing thought and the pattern of behavior that may follow the thought.
  • Thought recording - The formal process of mapping out the progression of experiences that follow a trigger and/or unhelpful thought.
