Technique Styles
At Elevated Counseling, Edlin utilizes evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs. These approaches help individuals process emotions, develop coping strategies, and create lasting change. Below are two primary techniques used in therapy sessions:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It helps individuals recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are interconnected and teaches practical strategies to alter unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is commonly used to treat conditions like anxiety, depression, and stress, and empowers individuals to develop healthier coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills.
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR offers a profound approach to overcoming trauma, anxiety, and other emotional struggles. Backed by strong evidence, it helps you process and release troubling memories, allowing you to break free from cycles of pain and fear that may be limiting your life. Whether you're facing past trauma, intense stress, grief, loss, or a sense of being stuck, EMDR can provide relief and clarity. It supports you in building resilience, regaining control, and moving forward with renewed confidence.
