I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. At the beginning, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways that you can make changes. With CBT, we'll take a look at how one's thoughts affect their emotions and experience. You'll learn how to identity and reframe those unhelpful thought patterns that have had a negative effect on your behaviors and emotions.
