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

I begin cognitive behavioral therapy with providing education about the framework of the therapy, which is the theory that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, interact with each other to cause symptoms of mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. I believe that clients benefit from this approach because it gives us a common framework and language to use in our sessions.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach emotion identification, identification of thinking traps/ cognitive distortions, and using a thought record to track cognitive distortions in cognitive behavioral therapy.

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

I know that a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they are able to identify and challenge thinking traps independently in between sessions.

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

Clients can exercise and practice using thought records to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy in their personal time.

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

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can reflect on and make notes about the symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health issues that are negatively impacting their life.

For the past year my mental, emotional and physical health has been restored. By God's providence, I connected with a psychiatric nurse practitioner at your agency. She skillfully assessed my situation and quickly prescribed much needed medication. I was at an all time low. Because of her expertise, compassion, and support, my life was renewed. So incredibly grateful to have my life back again.
