I work with adults who are often trying to cope with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship struggles, and job stress.
With telehealth, I find that I most often employ interventions that focus on the cognitive behavioral model while addressing individual needs. Our perception of our experience alters how we evaluate our reality and accept change. Being able to challenge automatic thoughts and recognize triggers from experiences enables us to move forward and enjoy our lives.
