While I also employ the use of a Strengths-based model and collaborative treatment planning, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a structured, effective approach that works with a variety of problems like mood issues, stress, and trauma. I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which allows clients to see and understand connections between their stressful situations, their thoughts and beliefs, and resulting emotional difficulty. The homework is not overly time-consuming and it enhances therapy much like the saying "The more you put into something the more you get out of it."
