Professional Statement
If you feel overly anxious, depressed, panicky, having attention problems, self-critical, overwhelmed by life’s stresses—these are just some of the problems that have been helped by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) informed by diagnosis and an interpersonal approach. CBT links thoughts, emotions, symptoms, and behavior with the option of reframing thoughts in a healthier manner.
Now that telehealth psychology is available by video or phone, it can help when social or physical distancing keeps people apart. In these stressful times, the good news is that teletherapy is so convenient while working from home, without taking time off and driving. Treatment is more private, confidential, and accessible.
To begin with, every client should expect to have their story understood and to be coached on moving toward their goals. From that starting point, evidence-based, step-by-step therapy can be effective for challenges like anxiety, panic, depression, and troublesome behavior, often in less time than you would expect. A toolbox to improve mental and behavioral health can help along with therapy.
