Common approaches to Trauma/PTSD therapy

Victoria DiPinto

Hear from Victoria DiPinto, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

View Victoria DiPinto's profile

What is your go-to approach for PTSD/trauma therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people with PTSD/trauma is to increase their sense of safety and to ensure that basic needs are being met. After, we can begin to process the trauma and any shame/guilt that has come from the traumatic event or events.

What tools do you teach in PTSD/trauma therapy?

The tools I teach in trauma therapy are mindfulness, distress tolerance, crisis management, emotion regulation, and cognitive reframing.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in PTSD/trauma therapy?

I know that a client is making meaningful progress in trauma therapy when they are meeting their basic needs and feel a sense of overall safety.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement PTSD/trauma therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in trauma therapy by practicing positive coping tools daily to cope with intense emotions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting PTSD/trauma therapy?

To prepare for your first trauma therapy session, I encourage you to prepare yourself for painful emotions to come up in order for healing to occur.

I really liked Meaghan, she was very helpful at defusing when things got a bit hostile. She focused on the major issues and the small frustrating things happening between us. I wish we could come more often! I didn’t like the fact that we stressed to the receptionist that we needed later appointments due to Keith’s jobs but she told us that we had to come early just for this appointment and each one after that would be later. She scheduled us with a therapist who does have late appointments which makes no sense at all after stressing that we picked Their on the bases of having those late appointment options.

My therapist was prompt, courteous, kind, empathic, inquisitive, insightful, and helpful. For a first visit, I felt remarkably comfortable with her as compared to many other therapists I’ve met with before. I look forward to returning for my second visit and making progress.
