Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Diane will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
