Therapeutic Approach

Therapies

I typically incorporate a combination of therapeutic approaches in working with clients based on individual needs and circumstances.

Solution Based Therapy

“… future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems that brought clients to seek therapy.” (Institute for Solution-Focused Therapy, LLC, 2021)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

CBT focuses on identifying faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking and learned patterns of behavior. The goal is to change thinking and behavioral patterns through an understanding of the patterns, developing problem solving skills and developing a greater sense of self-confidence. (American Psychological Association, 2021)

Psychodynamic Therapy

“Psychodynamic therapy focuses on the psychological roots of emotional suffering… (through) self-reflection and self-examination…” (American Psychological Association, 2021)

Interpersonal Therapy

“… addresses interpersonal deficits, including social isolation or involvement in unfulfilling relationships. .. it can help patients manage unresolved grief… can help with difficult life transitions like retirement, divorce, or moving to another city… is recommended for dealing with interpersonal disputes that emerge from conflicting expectations between partners, family members, close friends, or coworkers.” (Psychology Today, 2021)
