Areas of Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy approach developed by Marsha Linehan. It is based on the idea that people can change their thoughts, feelings and behaviors by learning new skills. DBT focuses on teaching skills in four main areas: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It combines traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of Eastern mindfulness practices such as acceptance, non-judgment, and being present in the moment. DBT has been used to effectively treat a variety of mental health disorders including borderline personality disorder, substance use disorders, and depression.
Solution Focused Therapy
Solution Focused therapy is a type of psychotherapy that helps focus on a desired future, rather than dwelling on any past issues. This type of therapy helps individuals and especially couples identify and achieve their goals by focusing on the solutions to their problems rather than their problems themselves. It emphasizes the idea that individuals are capable of developing their own solutions and encourages them to be proactive in finding those solutions. The goals of this therapy are to help individuals and couples develop skills for problem-solving, finding solutions to current issues, and improving communication. It is a brief, goal-oriented approach that can be used in both individual and group settings.
While these are primary modalities, JS Counseling relay on an eclectic view to all the clients and will utilize the best modality that fits each problem and struggle the client is trying to navigate through.
