I use an integration of psychological models depending on the presenting issues of the client. Most of my work utilizes a combination of behaviorally-based and relationally-based orientations. Treatment often begins with CBT or ACT to address pressing symptoms like insomnia or avoidance, later moving into attachment-based or psychodynamic models of treatment as clients seek out deeper work.
