In addressing depression, I implement a dual approach utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) alongside behavioral activation techniques to foster lasting recovery and well-being. Through CBT, I collaborate with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns that contribute to feelings of hopelessness and low mood. By fostering self-awareness and teaching adaptive coping strategies, I empower individuals to reframe their thinking and cultivate a more balanced perspective. Additionally, I integrate behavioral activation, a powerful intervention that focuses on increasing engagement in meaningful activities and reinforcing positive behaviors.
