Anxiety has become all too common in our society due to internal and external factors. As a result, it is one of the commonly difficulties often leading individuals to seek treatment. Anxiety is a series of symptoms that lead to impact in functioning in certain aspects of your life. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an evidence based approach that is used to assist the client in learning to challenge their thoughts leading to reconstructing the thought in order to relieve the symptoms.

There is not a one-size fits all when it comes to therapy. It is important to sometimes tailor the approach to the person's needs. An integrative approach allows the client and the clinician to pivot to meet their needs during the course of treatment.

This approach is based on focusing on your potential and your desires to make positive changes in your life in order to find fulfillment. This is client driven in order to have a better understanding of yourself by exploring the impact of the past in the present, the now, and where you want to go in order to unleash your true self.

This is a more structure approach versus those mention prior. This is focused on exploring how your thought pattern is contributing to your distress. By identifying the situation/event(which may not be apparent) while also increasing awareness of thoughts, emotional response, and cognitive errors. Homework and/or action plans are a component of CBT in order to help you make gradual progress to resolve distress.
