Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties.

She works with clients to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts techniques as the work evolves.
