Typically talking to me is less formal. To quote one of my people "It's more like having a beer with a buddy than being on a therapy couch." I take a familiar approach that gives you the benefit of my education and expertise but feels more relaxed. I tend to use cognitive behavioral approaches and modify other treatment types as needed for your therapy.

You down with CBT? (Yeah, you know me!) I typically develop my treatment plan based on your experiences and sources of pain. For anxiety and depression I default to cognitive behavioral approaches since they have great long-term outcomes after therapy discontinues. For couples, I use the Gottman Method. I will add other forms of therapy as needed as our understanding and need evolves.
