This is done by with building a partnership with the client where discussion, listening, and problem solving including an exchange or ideas play an intricate part of therapy. In addition the process includes utilizing Cognitive Behavior Therapy which involve skills training, learning relaxation techniques, building communication skills, addressing faulty thinking and learning behavior modification and addressing automatic negative thoughts and replacing them with more realistic and positive think.
