Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps the client explore their own goals and values. This approach supports people who want to increase self-understanding, address life transitions, or improve relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and mood-related difficulties by teaching concrete skills and coping strategies. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies and offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for intense emotions, relationship challenges, and self-destructive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Gillman works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques from different approaches to match what will be most useful for the individual.
