How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

ANNOUNCEMENT: NO WAIT LIST Signal Hill Counseling LLC (IDAHO) is now accepting adult Medicaid clients. Please email me at [email protected] or call or text me at (208) 497-2783 to schedule your intake session. I believe that with support we can all become the person we feel we should become. I believe that we can find peace in our lives. In our appointments, we will together work towards this peace. It is in our appointments where you will find a space free from judgment. After all, you are the expert in your own life. As a guide, I will help unlock the locked doors in your life. Sometimes the process of unlocking these doors might cause you to become uncomfortable. Behind these doors, you will find resolution, peace, and contentment. I know that making that first appointment is sometimes difficult but go ahead and take that leap towards recovery and open that first door. In recovery, clear communication is vital. I have learned Sign Language and am also an interpreter with 23 years of interpreting experience. If you are Deaf or Hard of Hearing and want to experience counseling in a judgment-free zone with someone who understands you, please reach out. I will use a combination of techniques in the framework of the following; Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, Trauma-Informed, Strengths-Based, Person-Centered, Motivational Interviewing, Existential therapy, and others. I graduated from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology with a concentration in Crisis and Trauma Counseling. I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient mental health with a wide range of age groups.

Hello. I'm currently accepting new clients for tele-therapy sessions and offering some evening and weekend hours. Please feel free to request a free 10-15 minute consultation if you have any questions or concerns. Utilizing  techniques associated with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT), Person Centered Experiential Therapy, Solution Focused, Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy(REBT), Reality Therapy, etc… I hope to provide: 1) Psychological contact including feeling like you are being heard, 2) Professionalism, 3) Unconditional Positive Regard, 4) Empathy, and  5) Genuineness. As a National Board Certified Counselor(NCC) since 2000, Licensed Mental Health Counselor(LMHC in FL) since 2002, and Licensed Professional Counselor(LPC in GA) since 2021, I help people by facilitating positive changes in their lives. In my own private practice, I help my clients who are dealing with depressive symptoms, anxiety, life stressors, adjustment and relationship issues by assisting them in identifying the thoughts and behaviors that are keeping them stuck(and/or preventing them from moving forward) in order to overcome struggles/obstacles and reach their full potential. 

Is your teen having difficulty navigating stress, conflict, or their identity? As a result, do they often feel alone or misunderstood? The transition into adulthood can be tough, and many teens experience anxiety, confusion, low self-esteem, and challenges in their relationships. It’s normal to be overwhelmed by these emotions and need guidance when establishing lifelong skills for coping and stress management. As a nonjudgemental, strengths-oriented therapist serving teens throughout the Houston area, I aim to create a strong therapeutic relationship that empowers and celebrates each individual throughout the counseling process. While each client receives their own personalized counseling plan, I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques in therapy for teens. By fostering skills for emotional awareness and distress tolerance, these approaches promote resilience, self-compassion, and healthier relationships. I understand the specific pressures teens face, which is why I strive to create a warm therapy environment where issues like stress, anxiety, and relationship conflict can be approached gently yet effectively. With a diverse personal and professional background,I offer a unique perspective that facilitates a holistic sense of self-discovery among my clients.
