CBT looks at how thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and situations influence one another. It can help identify patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, avoidance, and other symptoms.
Approach
These are some of the therapy models I draw from in my work.
ACT helps you develop a flexible relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions instead of getting caught up in trying to control or avoid them. It also helps clarify what matters to you and how to act in ways that are more consistent with it.
Coherence Therapy is an experiential approach that brings unconscious emotional learning into awareness where it can be understood and changed. Rather than focusing primarily on coping with symptoms, it seeks cessation of symptoms.
Behavioral Activation focuses on increasing activities that can improve mood and reducing patterns of avoidance that can contribute to depression.
Motivational Interviewing helps you explore your own reasons for change and helps you work through uncertainty or ambivalence about making that change.
Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is happening in the present moment without judgment. In therapy, it can help you become more aware of thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations without immediately reacting to them.
