Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and how does it work?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and challenge negative thought patterns. By understanding the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, CBT provides practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, and other challenges.
What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps you embrace your thoughts and emotions rather than fighting them. By aligning your actions with your core values, ACT encourages you to live a fulfilling life even when facing difficult emotions or situations.
How is Motivational Interviewing different from other therapies?
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative, client-centered approach that empowers you to find your internal motivation for change. It’s particularly helpful for overcoming ambivalence in areas like addiction recovery, lifestyle changes, or setting new goals.
How do I know which therapy is right for me?
Each individual is unique, and the right approach depends on your needs and goals. During our initial sessions, we will discuss your challenges and determine whether CBT, ACT, or Motivational Interviewing best suits you.
Can these therapies be done remotely?
Yes, I offer secure and private telehealth sessions, allowing you to receive therapy from the comfort of your own home. All sessions are conducted via a HIPAA-compliant platform to ensure your privacy.
How many therapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your individual needs, goals, and the complexity of the challenges you face. CBT and Motivational Interviewing are often short-term and goal-focused, while ACT may vary depending on personal progress.
