It helps clients and couples explore attachment needs and develop more secure, connected ways of relating to others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a skills-focused approach that examines how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It supports people in identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress.
