What types of therapy are used for addiction?

Several therapeutic approaches are commonly used in addiction counseling, and a licensed provider can help determine what may be appropriate for your situation. Some therapeutic approaches focus on identifying thought patterns and triggers related to substance use, and a licensed provider can explain which methods they use. Some providers use counseling approaches intended to support behavior change, and a licensed professional can help you understand whether a particular approach may fit your needs. Some providers take approaches that consider how past experiences may relate to substance use, and they can discuss their treatment style with you. Many providers combine approaches based on your specific needs and goals — reading a provider's bio on Headway can help you understand their style before booking.

Can addiction therapists also help with other mental health concerns?

Yes. Many people seeking addiction counseling are also managing co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or trauma.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Prince Frederick, MD

I am a licensed clinical social worker experienced with 22 years of practice and a former connection with public safety as a First Responder. I have worked in a hospital, school, and clinical settings with groups, individuals, and families; all of which has imbedded in me a deep understanding of the challenges individuals and families face. As a dedicated therapist with a rich background in crisis intervention and community support, I bring a unique blend of experience and compassion to my work. I enjoy working with individual teens, adults, couples, and families around a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, ADHD, Spectrum, relationships, divorce, blended families, parenting, anger management, and low self-esteem; struggling with the challenges of everyday life. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process; where I assist in increasing self-awareness and personal strengths so there can be new perspectives gained while decreasing unwanted symptoms, and people can have a more meaningful life experience. I want to offer support, insight and compassion to help you cope with or overcome your challenges. I will work with you to facilitate positive change and the adoption of healthier attitudes and responses; you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.
