What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

I find that the benefit of using CBT is that it is “present-focused.” That means it works with thoughts and feelings in the here and now.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach a variety of tools in CBT, including how to identify thoughts that lead to the behavior that an individual wants to change and the emotions/body sensations that were occurring at the time of the behavior.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know that an individual is making meaningful progress in CBT when they are able to identify thoughts/emotions early enough that they can alter their behavior.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

CBT takes a great deal of work outside of therapy initially because they will be journaling their actions, their emotions, and bodily sensations on a daily basis.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for the initial session of CBT, clients can identify the behaviors that they would like to change and start exploring the thoughts that lead them to that behavior.

Kris Fredericksen has helped me immensely over the past couple of years. I have progressed in leaps and bounds since I first started attending sessions with her. I have had a traumatic childhood, stage 4 cancer, and was in an abusive relationship with an extreme narcissist. After that relationship, my self-esteem was almost non-existent. Shortly after that relationship I started having sessions with Kris. Since then, I have become more stable in life and very successful in my career. I still see Kris and will continue to as life will continue to have its ups and downs. I know I can rely upon Kris to help me take on and learn from anything that comes my way. Life is a great big learning lesson and sometimes you just need someone to give you the right perspective to help you understand, to cope and to grow. Kris is the highly trained professional that I needed and still need to help me continue on that path.
