Therapists listen. And notice. And wonder about things. You have your own answers. A good therapist will simply point things out and help you to discover any patterns to your thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. If we can change the way we think, we can change how we feel about a situation, or a past occurence. The meaning we take from the events of our lives can be quite powerful.
Wanting to keep virtual therapy available for folks who require it or just enjoy the convenience, I use an online platform that is HIPAA privacy compliant to meet with clients. It is very easy to use, just using an internet browser.
