Cognitive Behavioral TherapyCognitive behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking and how you feel and what you do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause negative feelings. The Therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments. CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time.
Solution-Focused TherapyThis method focuses on the positives and strengths of the persons involved in treatment, and seeks to build on successes and solutions already present. It is usually a short term therapy. Solution-focused therapy can help with behavioral issues, relationship problems, drug use, and other issues where clients have become enmeshed in negative and problematic feelings and behavior. Solution focused therapists believe there are always exceptions to the problem behavior or symptom, and in those exceptions lie the beginnings of positive change.
TelehealthSee your therapist regularly in sessions that help you manage anxiety and depression with teletherapy — a method using face-to-face telecommunications technology over the Internet for psychotherapy sessions. Make an appointment in advance with a therapist, but instead of traveling to an office, you hop on your computer and have a video chat. A client can be anywhere to receive teletherapy — at home, at the office during lunch, and regardless of the weather or the lack of transportation options.
