Dr. Katzinger utilizes two main theories in her work with individuals. These include both cognitive behavioral theory and systems theory. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which is based on cognitive behavioral theory, is a short-term structured approach that involves collaboration between the individual with the problem and the therapist to achieve certain goals. CBT is an evidence-based approach which aims to resolve current problems rather than drawing upon assumptions relating to the past. CBT focuses on working in collaboration with the client to identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be contributing to their problems. Individuals are encouraged to explore different ways of thinking and to consider alternative interpretations of their beliefs. When clients have developed these skills they can learn new behaviors and problem-solving strategies with which to reinterpret their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in more rational ways. For a more detailed description of CBT, please visit the National Association of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapists Website at nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm. Systems theory, on the other hand, suggests that an individual cannot be understood in isolation from other individuals, but must be understood and treated as one of a system of interconnected and interdependent individuals, including the family, school, and larger community. With that in mind, Dr. Katzinger strives to work with caregivers, teachers, and other important people in an individual's life for a comprehensive treatment approach. Dr. Katzinger welcomes clients of various races, backgrounds, beliefs, and lifestyles.
