This approach helps people explore their feelings and build self-awareness while the therapist follows and supports the client's lead.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers concrete tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger by reshaping unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing new habits.
