My approach to individual therapy:

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT):  I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a proven approach that focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and physiological responses. Simply put, CBT is based on the idea that by changing how we think about situations, we can shift our emotions and behaviors. Research shows that when we experience strong emotions, our thinking can become distorted, leading us to interpret events through the lens of those feelings. CBT doesn’t aim to ignore reality or force positivity; instead, it helps you see situations more clearly and accurately, or teaches you how to accept, heal, or cope with challenging circumstances.

Exposure therapy: For certain types of anxiety, adjusting our thinking or challenging negative thoughts isn’t always enough. This is because our brain can form connections that don't respond to logic alone. Even if we know that a fear isn’t rational, we can still feel anxious. That’s where exposure therapy comes in. While it might feel uncomfortable, exposure therapy is highly effective in reducing anxiety over time. It involves gradually facing your fears in a controlled way—at your own pace—so you can retrain your brain to respond differently.

 

Grief Recovery Method: When it comes to navigating grief, I use the Grief Recovery Method, which offers a structured approach to help you process your emotions. What I appreciate about this method is that it provides concrete steps you can take to understand and heal from your loss. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to support you through the grieving process.
