The approach to counseling that I take most frequently is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. CBT is a form of psychotherapy proven in numerous clinical trials to be effective for a wide variety of disorders. The therapist and client work together as a team to identify and solve problems. Therapists help clients to overcome their difficulties by changing their thinking, behavior, and emotional responses. I also rely on motivational interviewing and advocate person centered care.
