If you’re thinking about counseling either online or offline among the things that you must understand about is cognitive behavioral therapy ….Ms Counseling Online…also referred to as CBT my name is dr. Sonia and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over ten years of experience working with individuals with a range of mental health conditions I see myself as a strong CBT therapist and think that has a lot of value for helping people dealing with stress and anxiety depression life stress factor type issues and so I truly want to help you comprehend a bit more about it and how it works today so what is cognitive behavior modification or CBT anyhow so what CBT actually is is it’s a way a theoretical technique where a therapist will
work with you to analyze your thoughts sensations and behaviors and the different ways they intersect and truly what they’re going to be seeking to do is take a look at how your ideas might be contributing to difficult emotions so are your ideas helping to sustain a level of anger or unhappiness or worry and exist manner ins which perhaps you can consider situations or individuals or yourself differently in order to feel a little bit much better so if you’re considering counseling I strongly motivate you to look into dealing with a CBT therapist because it’s a efficient and evidence-based way of dealing with a range of issues and issues if you’re working with the CBT therapist you’re going to discover that the work is really collaborative and it’s really a group technique to examining the problems that you struggle with the other thing that individuals have maybe a bit of problem getting used to or accepting with CBT treatment is that you will get homework yes it’s just like being back in school therefore a good
CBT therapist is going to designate you some sort of action item or research project to finish in between sessions and the factor for this is actually to assist you practice the abilities and methods that your in session out of session and you will discover that you will advance far more quickly through the treatment procedure if you do your homework type of just like in school so a few other things to understand about cognitive behavior modification are that it’s usually a more structured technique than other types of treatments and it includes recognizing goals that you and the counselor accept deal with on together and the other key point is that in CBT treatment the counselor really invites and obtains feedback on how things are going so this returns to the concept that it’s a very collective approach and it’s not this
concept of the counselor having more knowledge than you but simply that the therapist has know-how in various areas that they can bring to bear and maybe give you different methods of considering your problems among the more typical misunderstandings about CBT is that c.b.c therapists will not take a look at your past at all or take a look at how your past might be impacting your present which’s actually not real in CBT the focus is absolutely more on the present and how you’re functioning in today but to see a great CBT therapist will work with you on examining if there are any issues in your past that are still affecting your capability to function effectively and effectively today if you like this video please feel free to sign up for our YouTube channel where you’ll find a lot more material on a range of mental health subjects and if you have an interest in finding out more about online therapy Ms Counseling Online
