CBT

CBT or Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a type of therapy that encourages clients to change their thinking (reframe) patterns and essentially teaches how to be your “own therapist.” It’s also referred to as a common type of “talk” therapy. You’ll work through problems and develop coping skills to shift your mindset, behaviors and problematic emotions. 

This type of therapy reflects on what is happening in the client’s current life. Trust and a collaborative relationship must be established between the patient and client to see the most progress. Using CBT as a tool for growth and reflection may be used if you’re-

• Identifying patterns between your thoughts and feelings

• Searching for ways to cope with daily stressors

• Looking to identify and manage your emotions

• Learning ways of healthier communication

• Looking to overcome anxiety and/or depression

   

DBT

DBT or Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another type of talk therapy or psychotherapy based on CBT. However DBT is adapted for clients who experience emotions intensely. Since “dialectical” means combining opposite ideas, this type of therapy focuses on helping clients accept reality and their behaviors all while learning how to make a positive change in their lives- teaching healthier ways to cope. 

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or ACT is another type of talk therapy used with my clients. It’s a mindful psychotherapy helping clients stay focused on the present moment, and accepting their thoughts and emotions without judgment. The focus is to help the client move forward through their challenging emotions, so they can heal instead of dwell. You’lll learn to accept your emotions and understand that negative feelings are a part of life. Acceptance and commitment to your inner reflection.

Together we’ll determine which treatment is best for your unique situation.
