Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it helps with anxiety, mood changes, panic symptoms, and practical coping challenges.She also draws on trauma-focused methods when addressing the lingering effects of difficult experiences, working carefully to process trauma symptoms and reduce their impact on daily life and relationships. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Monica collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
