Modalities
A therapy modality is simply the approach or style of counseling your therapist uses. Different modalities offer different tools — some focus on building skills, some on exploring past experiences, and others on changing patterns of thinking or behavior. Your therapist may use one approach or combine several to best fit your needs and goals.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy
DBT teaches practical skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and cope with stress. It focuses on finding balance — accepting yourself as you are while working toward meaningful change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT helps you notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts that influence how you feel and act. By building healthier thinking patterns, you can reduce distress and make positive changes in your daily life.
Cognitive Processing Therapy
CPT is especially helpful for healing from trauma and PTSD. It guides you in understanding how past experiences shape your beliefs and helps you reframe unhelpful patterns so you can move forward with greater peace and confidence.
