I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT) with Motivational Interviewing to identify what is most important to the client and what brings them to therapy.
Many of my clients are struggling to overcome situations and expectations that feel way beyond their control. Whether these are coming from the inside or outside they can be overwhelming and painful. It can feel like we are no match for our thoughts and feelings but my clients learn to recognize their resources, using them to tame despair, negativity bias, fear and isolation. In that process clients experience their relationships and actions aligning more with what they really want.

Seen some things you feel like you can't share? Done some things you don't think others would understand? I'm here to help with the hard stuff.

Difficult life experiences are something that we as humans all go through as we progress in life. Depression, severe stress, life transitions, career struggles, relational issues, divorce, domestic abuse, grief/loss and trauma are just a few of life's blows that come at us on a daily basis. If you feel like managing these life situations alone is too daunting, consider seeking therapy services. My experience entails a history of working with various populations, such as survivors of domestic violence, those who are bereaved, young adult populations, couples, singles and people facing life transitions.

Many come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to cope, and are seeking clarity, relief, and a deeper sense of self. Caregivers often want support in understanding their child’s needs and learning how to co-regulate with compassion and confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
