The therapeutic relationship is the most important
element of having a positive and helpful counseling experience. When we
feel comfortable we open our minds to new perspectives, changes, and
confidence to take an action. I structure therapy around the client’s
comfort level, strengths, and past successes to help client feel at
ease, supported, and empowered. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral approach
which looks at the impact of negative thoughts, worries, and patterns
on feelings and behaviors. Conversely, we can change thoughts and
behaviors with changing the thought process. Lastly, I utilize
Solution-Focused therapy in which we will set goals at the beginning of
therapy and those goals will guide the therapeutic process. We will
always be focused on what you want to accomplish.
