How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors contributing to mental health issues. By teaching practical coping strategies and promoting behavioral activation, CBT effectively reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression, empowers clients to manage their mental health independently, enhances self-awareness, and fosters lasting positive changes in behavior.

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in evidence-based medication management, lifestyle interventions, CBT, and mindfulness techniques. I have experience treating ADHD and LGBTQIA+ issues, as well as a variety of other mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. With clinical experience at various New York hospitals, such as New York Presbyterian and Mount Sinai, I provide thorough psychiatric evaluations and personalized psychopharmacology. I strive to create a compassionate, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together on solutions tailored to your needs. *Specialties •Adult Psychiatry •Psychiatry *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •Bipolar disorders •Schizophrenia •PTSD •ADHD •Insomnia •Relationship Issues •Eating disorders •OCD •Geriatric Psychiatry •Mood disorders •Obsessive-Compulsive •Trauma and PTSD •Behavioral Issues •Coping Skills •Education and Learning Disabilities •Emotional Disturbance •Family Conflict •Geriatric and Seniors •LGBTQ+ •Medication Management •Men's Issues •Peer Relationships •School Issues •Self Esteem •Stress •Transgender *Treatment philosophy As a provider, I value creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where patients feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to achieve their mental health goals. *Treatment approach •Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) •Culturally Sensitive •Person-Focused

Utilizing CBT can be a great way to challenge anxiety & depression. I like to utilize activities to practice reframing schemas. I occassionally will provide some psychoeducation about these topics in an attempt to provide you with a clear picture & understand the "why".

I believe the therapy process is a marathon, not a sprint. Pacing and patience are key to the type of collaborative therapy I offer. In this “marathon”, I am open to discussing what tactics you want to use to create the change you want to see. As a counselor, I use myself as a vehicle for change in the therapeutic process. I bring a warm, personable, and laid-back nature to each session because I believe everyone needs a comfortable space to share their story. I push my clients in the direction of their goals, but I respect the importance of pacing and patience during the therapy “marathon”. I utilize an eclectic approach to meet you where you are. Some of these approaches include Adlerian, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness therapies. I have experience working with student-athletes and I know how difficult it is juggling academics, work, school, sports, and a personal life. I also enjoy working on self-esteem building. I invite not only student-athletes, but any adolescents and adults who are struggling with life's pressures. If you are looking for someone who will take the role of pushing you to meet your goals while still staying in your corner cheering you on, please feel free to reach out.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors through cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and skill development. It is goal-oriented and practical. When combined with medication management, CBT can be more effective for conditions like depression and anxiety, as medication helps stabilize mood and reduce symptoms. This comprehensive approach addresses both cognitive and biological aspects of mental health, leading to improved outcomes and overall well-being.

CBT is a powerful tool that I use to help you become more aware of how your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings are all connected. Some people more easily identify thoughts while others more closely recognize feelings. Together, we can work to bring both to equal attention. The behavior part of CBT is immensely powerful as Behavioral Activation added to CBT allows you to influence your feelings and thoughts through action. This tends to be effective and keeps you from getting stuck in your head. My approach is guided by Internal Family Systems that sees us as having many aspects of ourselves that contribute to our thoughts, feelings, and actions. This avoids seeing any thought, behavior, or feeling as wholly negative and balances possible positive intentions. 

I am an LICSW practicing in RI and MA. Tele-health and walk-and-talk therapy are current options for counseling appointments. See my website at www.mindpathwellness.com for detailed information about my practice. 

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. When you’re anxious or overwhelmed, your mind can fall into patterns that keep you stuck—like overthinking, assuming the worst, or being hard on yourself. In CBT, we work together to notice those patterns, challenge them, and replace them with more balanced, helpful ways of thinking. It’s a practical, evidence-based approach that gives you tools to manage anxiety, stress, and self-doubt both in the moment and over time. I use CBT in a flexible, collaborative way—so it feels relevant and personalized to you.
