Other commonly addressed issues with adult patients in individual therapy relate to marital and parenting stressors as they often negatively and profoundly affect my adult patients’ well-being. For example, some common relationship issues are: miscommunication, finances, purchases, mismatched expectations, intimacy, inability to compromise, religious differences, dealing with in-laws, and differences in values and beliefs. Examples of common parenting issues may include: differences in parenting styles, children’s daily routines, chores, homework, grades, dating, gender identity questioning, unhealthy sleeping or eating patterns, social media, electronic devices overuse, home schooling.

THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES AND TECHNIQUES 

 

In order to achieve quick and lasting results in my work with adult patients, I draw on a variety of therapeutic techniques and modalities listed below.
 

COGNITIVE-BEHAVIOR THERAPY (CBT)

Cognitive-behavior therapy relies largely on verbal learning principles—namely, those that involve cognition (perception, thinking, reasoning, attention, and judgment). The basic cognitive-behavior strategy is to change the thoughts, beliefs, assumptions, and attitudes that are contributing to the patient’s emotional or behavioral problems. In other words, when working from a cognitive-behavior viewpoint in therapy, I aim toward changing distorted thinking patterns in order to change the way an individual feels and behaves. Cognitive-behavior techniques are powerful tools in the hands of a skilled therapist. I have found them particularly helpful in the treatment of phobias, panic attacks, anxiety issues, depression, low self-esteem, etc.

FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY

When using Family Systems Therapy, a therapist analyses the entire (extended) family as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs, and patterns. From the viewpoint of the therapist, each family member plays a significant part in the family system. Family Systems Therapy helps an individual discover how their own family operates and what their particular role is in the family system. The goal of this therapy is to decrease anxiety and increase differentiation of self. When using this therapeutic modality, I place the presenting problem in multigenerational family context by completing a thorough genogram (a pictorial display of a person's family relationships) of the family in treatment.

NARRATIVE THERAPY

As an adult therapist, I employ narrative therapy techniques to help adult patients externalize problems rather than focus on problems as being part of themselves. This process of “externalization” allows patients to consider new relationships with problems based on the motto “The person is not the problem, the problem is the problem.” Through the use of narrative therapy techniques, I help my clients in therapy create changes by discovering different, more productive, realistic, and satisfying stories about their lives.

SOLUTION-FOCUSED THERAPY

Solution-focused therapy emphasizes the construction of solutions to problems, rather than an examination of their causes or how they are maintained. This approach rests on the belief that people can solve their problems by doing more of what has been successful for them in the past. When using solution-focused techniques in therapy, I help my patients notice when their troubling symptoms decrease and use this as a basis for recovery. In my experience as a therapist, solution-focused techniques have proven helpful in the treatment of stress management, achieving goals, anxiety, marital problems, etc.

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)

You could think of Neuro-Linguistic Programming as an owner's manual for the brain. NLP is the science of how the brain codes learning and experience. This coding affects all communication and behavior. It affects how you learn and how you perceive the world around you. It is a key to reaching goals and achieving excellence.
 
Through using Neuro-Linguistic Programming approach in therapy, I have been successful in helping my clients in the following areas: achieving goals, improving relationships and communication, controlling internal mental states, creating powerful new internal states, eliminating phobias, traumas, depression, and learning difficulties. In short, with the help of Neuro-Linguistic Programming, you will find it easier to achieve your personal and professional goals because you will gain greater access to your internal resources, remove obstacles that have been holding you back, as well as have more fun while doing it.
