Therapy Modalities & Approaches

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being and develop healthier coping skills. CBT is a goal‑focused, structured form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that contribute to mental health difficulties. It is based on the principle that thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected, and that distorted thinking often drives distress rather than the situation itself
 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals develop greater psychological flexibility, accept difficult emotions, and take meaningful action based on their personal values.  ACT shifts the goal from “eliminating symptoms” to “living a meaningful life while experiencing the full range of human emotions.” This emphasis on values and acceptance distinguishes it from traditional cognitive therapy approaches. 

Brainspotting

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

 Brainspotting is a therapeutic approach that uses focused visual positions to help individuals access and process emotions and experiences connected to distress and trauma.  A therapist guides the client to fixate on a specific eye position while noticing bodily sensations, emotions, and thoughts that arise. This process is often combined with mindfulness and bilateral sound stimulation to enhance brain integration and access deeper brain regions, including the limbic system and midbrain structures, which are critical for emotional processing and memory.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

 Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, tolerating distress, and practicing mindfulness. The “D” in DBT stands for dialectics, which is the concept that two seemingly opposite things can be true at the same time. The central dialectic in DBT is balancing acceptance (accepting yourself exactly as you are) and change (working to be different) 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

 Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a mental health treatment technique. This method involves moving your eyes a specific way while you process traumatic memories. EMDR’s goal is to help you heal from trauma or other distressing life experiences.  Unlike traditional talk therapy, EMDR does not require detailed discussion of the trauma; instead, it focuses on changing the negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors linked to distressing experiences. 

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

 Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps individuals better understand different parts of themselves, develop self-compassion, and work toward greater emotional balance and healing.   IFS proposes that the mind is naturally multiple, consisting of sub‑personalities (“parts”) with distinct roles, emotions, and beliefs. These parts interact like members of an internal family, often becoming extreme due to past experiences. 

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

 MBCT is a short-term, evidence-based therapy that combines mindfulness and cognitive strategies to help individuals manage depression, anxiety, and stress. By fostering awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation, MBCT empowers participants to respond to thoughts and feelings more skillfully, reducing the risk of relapse and enhancing overall mental well-being. 

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

 Motivational Interviewing is a directive yet empathetic therapeutic style designed to help individuals explore and resolve mixed feelings about change. It emphasizes autonomy, collaboration, and evoking personal reasons for change rather than imposing advice. 

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

 PCIT is a combination of play therapy and behavioral therapy designed for children typically aged 2 to 7, though it has been adapted for children up to 12 in certain contexts, such as at-risk or abused children. PCIT focuses on improving parent-child interactions, enhancing communication, and teaching parents effective strategies to manage behavioral and emotional challenges  

Play Therapy

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

 Play therapy sessions typically take place in a comfortable playroom equipped with toys, art materials, puppets, and other tools that facilitate expression. Therapists observe the child’s choice of play objects, types of play, and play style to gain insight into their emotional state and concerns. Techniques may include role-playing, creative arts, storytelling, and games, which help children process emotions, develop problem-solving skills, and learn self-regulation.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

 TF-CBT is a components- and phase-based cognitive-behavioral treatment that integrates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive restructuring, exposure, and family involvement to alleviate post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and behavioral dysregulation in youth who have experienced trauma. It is primarily aimed at children and adolescents aged 3–18 years who have experienced sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, violence, grief, or other traumatic events. The therapy also supports non-offending parents or caregivers, helping them manage trauma-related emotional and behavioral symptoms in their children. 

Triple P – Positive Parenting Program

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

 Triple P – Positive Parenting Program is a multi-tiered, evidence-based parenting and family support system designed to help parents and caregivers of children and adolescents from birth to age 16 build the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to prevent and treat behavioral, emotional, and developmental problems.  Triple P is considered a parent training and family intervention that supports the mental well-being of both children and parents. It draws on principles from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), social learning theory, and developmental psychology, and is grounded in research showing it works across cultures, socioeconomic groups, and family structures.
