Traditional Talk Therapy
Uncover Causes and Foster Well-being with a Mindful Approach
Traditional talk therapy helps you become aware of and release the self-limiting thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that keep you from living your best life. Drawing on techniques and strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness, your therapist at Free to Be NLT can work with you to strengthen your ability to cope with stress, anxiety, and depression, while empowering you to make the personal changes necessary to improve your life and relationships through effective mental health services.
What is talk therapy?
Talk therapy is a variety of treatments aimed at helping the patient discover and make changes to troubling thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, while understanding how they can affect your mood. Ultimately, you learn how to use healthy coping skills to take control of your life.
At Free to Be NLT, I focus on Mindfulness in Talk Therapy sessions. This approach helps patients focus on the present moment instead of living in the past or worrying about the future. By integrating wellness coaching, this method can help alleviate depression, anxiety, and stress while enabling a better focus on what’s healthy and relevant.
What to talk about in therapy?
There are many things you can discuss in talk therapy, depending on where you are in that moment. Common topics include life transitions, self-esteem, past trauma, relationships, and even how you feel when you arrive. Be assured that no issue is too small; everything contributes to your well-being and can point to larger themes to be explored.
What kind of issues can be addressed?
