Therapy Modalities Used:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on accepting what is beyond one's control while committing to actions that enrich life. It emphasizes mindfulness techniques to increase psychological flexibility, allowing individuals to observe and accept their thoughts and feelings without judgment. ACT also encourages clients to clarify their values and take committed action towards goals aligned with those values, fostering a meaningful and fulfilling life despite the presence of anxiety or other challenging emotions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that addresses the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It aims to help individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and beliefs that contribute to emotional distress and maladaptive behaviors. By challenging and restructuring these thoughts, CBT promotes healthier thinking patterns and teaches practical skills to manage and cope with various challenges.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) used primarily to treat anxiety disorders, especially obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It involves gradually exposing individuals to feared objects, situations, or thoughts (exposure), while preventing them from carrying out their usual compulsive behaviors (response prevention). This process helps clients confront and learn to tolerate anxiety-provoking stimuli without resorting to compulsions, thereby reducing anxiety over time.
Inferential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT)
Mindfulness & Present Moment Awareness
Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT)
Inferential Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT) combines traditional CBT with a focus on how individuals interpret information and make inferences. By addressing cognitive biases and distortions, I-CBT aims to modify underlying beliefs and improve emotional regulation. This approach helps clients develop more adaptive thinking patterns and coping strategies, making it effective for treating OCD and other anxiety disorders.
Mindfulness is a practice that involves bringing attention to the present moment with openness and acceptance. Mindfulness techniques such as focused breathing, body scans, and mindful awareness of thoughts and emotions can help individuals cultivate a more balanced and non-reactive relationship with their thoughts and anxiety symptoms. Mindfulness can reduce the grip of worry and promote a sense of calm and clarity.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people to understand and change the emotional patterns that shape their relationships and inner experiences. In couples work, it strengthens emotional bonds and breaks negative cycles, while for individuals it fosters healing, self-awareness, and more fulfilling connections.
Disclaimer regarding virtual therapy: While virtual therapy is convenient and effective for many, it may not be suitable for everyone. If your needs exceed what can be addressed online, I may recommend a higher level of care or an in-person therapist.
