About
As a person that has experienced and struggled with anxiety and depression, I understand that asking for help and being vulnerable can be scary.
Aileen Vazquez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 6 years of experience in the mental health and substance use field. Aileen is passionate about helping others explore their goals, work towards a better version of themselves, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Aileen completed her Bachelor's degree in Psychology and obtained her Master's degree in Social Work from Michigan State University. Aileen identifies as a Mexican-American woman and is both a therapist and a mother and therefore, understands how challenging and complex finding a balance and exploring identity can be. Due to personal experiences and previous experience working with adults with co-occurring disorders, Aileen is able to understand the complexities of life and how one issue can affect another. Aileen is particularly fond of mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy (PCT), among other techniques.
It can be hard to reach out for help, but in doing so we are often able to open doors and accomplish things that may not have been possible without assistance. Aileen would be honored to be a part of your journey toward health and happiness. If you are seeking to work towards your goals and work together as a team, schedule an appointment with Aileen today.

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is challenging automatic irrational beliefs and increasing awareness of cognitive distortions. I find the best benefit in these skills because negative and irrational thoughts can significantly impact mood and, in turn, affect behaviors that clients engage in.
I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they are able to identify how they are being more aware and mindful of their thinking patterns and actively redirecting themselves to think in more healthy and positive manners.
Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy by completing worksheets and using charts regarding the practice of each skill. Clients are also able to view videos that are provided to them and identify instances when they were able to utilize each skill.
To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can explore what their regular thinking patterns are and how these may contribute to their experiences of anxiety and depression. They can explore how they think about themselves, their relationships, and the world.
At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Novi, MI is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
