I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who has worked in behavioral health for two decades. The most important thing to know about my approach is you set your goals, and I work with you to get you where you want to be. My preferred approach is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, but I use this in conjunction with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other interventions as well. My preference is to be flexible and meet your needs where you need them to be met and use your strengths to get you where you wish to be.
From the first session I will give you work to do between sessions, yes this does mean homework! Don't worry, there are no tests or papers, but in therapy the work is done between sessions, whether it is practicing a mindfulness technique or practicing a new strategy. At the very least you will have something new to think about and consider as you work through your every day life.
