Therapeutic Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected and teaches practical strategies to reframe unhelpful thinking, manage emotions, and adopt healthier habits.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern form of therapy that helps individuals embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling overwhelmed by them. Rooted in mindfulness and behavioral principles, ACT encourages people to accept what is out of their control, clarify their personal values, and take committed action to live a meaningful life.
Exposure and Response Prevention
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy is designed to help individuals confront and reduce anxiety associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions. ERP involves gradually exposing individuals to feared thoughts, situations, or objects while resisting the urge to engage in compulsive behaviors or avoidance. Through repeated practice, ERP helps decrease the power of fears, build tolerance for distress, and break the cycle of obsessions and compulsions, fostering greater confidence and control over anxiety.
