In my clinical practice, I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a foundational and highly effective psychotherapeutic approach. This modality is central to how I address a wide range of psychological challenges, as it provides a structured, goal-oriented framework that empowers patients to become active participants in their own recovery.
