Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches in Towson, MD
At Woodruff Counseling, therapy is tailored to each individual using evidence-based approaches that support emotional growth and long-term well-being.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Towson is an evidence-based approach commonly used to treat anxiety, depression, and mood-related concerns. CBT targets thoughts (cognitive) and behaviors. The idea behind CBT is that there are unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that are preventing you from being happy or achieving certain goals. Take for instance a person who is anxious about school. They start thinking that they won’t be able to pass an upcoming test despite being well prepared with a good comprehension of the material. The anxiety builds, they put off studying because they are overwhelmed, and don’t go to school the day of the test. In this scenario we have the unhelpful thought “I won’t be able to pass” and the unhelpful behaviors, failing to study and avoiding the exam. CBT tries to identify and target these negative loops and false beliefs.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative therapy approach that helps individuals in Towson strengthen motivation, clarify goals, and create meaningful change. Motivational interviewing is a technique that encourages you to open-up about your current circumstances. The process involves a lot of open-ended questions (they are not yes or no). The patient leads in motivational interviewing. The benefit can be to help get a different perspective and examine areas of your life deeper than you have before.
Problem Solving Therapy
Problem Solving Therapy supports individuals in developing practical strategies to manage stress, challenges, and difficult life situations.. Problem solving therapy helps to identify issues and ways to address them. It’s more than solving one issue its about learning the steps and tools to solving problems that come about throughout life. Rather than being reactionary we will work to help you slow down, consider options, apply coping skills, and consider possible solutions.
Solution Focused Therapy
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes strengths, progress, and future-oriented goals to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence. Solution focused therapy despite sounding like problem solving therapy is different. In solution focused therapy we spend little to no time discussing the problem or root causes. The idea behind this is that some problems just are and dwelling on the why is not productive. Instead we will focus on what it would take to make you feel happy, at peace, or whatever your goal may be. With this technique we will be future oriented.
Brief Treatment-Crisis Intervention
Brief treatment and crisis intervention provide short-term therapeutic support during periods of acute stress or emotional overwhelm. This is a brief triage like therapy used for individuals who have faced a major crisis. Crisis is not a term that describes one particular situation and is largely defined by the individual. This particular approach is used to help stabilize an individual who has just been through a crisis until a long-term plan can be made.
