Therapy is about you, and the therapeutic relationship is everything to me. When it comes to therapy, I believe it is very important that the client and therapist develop a good therapeutic relationship, so that they can work well together and establish client-based needs and goals. Everybody’s journey is so very individual, and I will work with you on what you need, and we will go at your pace. We will work together as a team to make sure you are getting what you need out of therapy, and that you are walking away feeling a little bit better than when you came in.

My imagined ideal client may report challenges and self-esteem challenges, manifesting as low mood, unhealthy boundaries, people-pleasing behaviors, social anxiety, self-validation, or acceptance struggles. The identified needs include relational improvement, self-confidence, and insight. I highlight the process as aiding the client in identifying triggers and sources of depleted esteem, exploring thoughts and feelings regarding self, others, and the world, and processing maladaptive behaviors. I would journey with the client in unveiling core beliefs that impact esteem and work to recognize strengths and positive qualities.

At times life can present us with difficult or traumatic experiences that can feel too overwhelming to navigate alone. Working together, we can create a trusting therapeutic relationship in which I will utilize an individualized, integrative approach to therapy. Using a trauma informed strengths-based method to care, I approach each client by considering, “what happened to you?” as opposed to “what is wrong with you?”

Trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, has been keeping you from your life. Even on good days, your negative self-talk is hard on you. Everyone can be hard on themselves. It’s exhausting trying to anticipate when these feelings will come back again. You can’t trust your own thoughts. It could be that your painful past or current stress isn’t going away on its own. On most days it takes more than that. Feeling stuck in a vicious cycle with no end in sight, you know you can’t handle this alone anymore. Maybe since it happened, something very upsetting occurred, and it changed you. You’ll feel calm You’ll breathe again!

My ideal client would present solution-focused with a desire to gain insight and understanding of presenting symptomatically and how those symptoms manifested. Their issues, regardless of being situational or organic, should be addressed directly with kindness and acceptance without judgement. The need should be to not only identify and address their current symptoms but also to work towards a more profound understanding of why such symptoms are present and how to create an opportunity for change. The goal should support a progressive change to improve quality of life.

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.
