Here are a few examples of different evidence-based approaches we use at Counselling Connection
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-focused talk therapy that helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. By understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, CBT supports healthier emotions and coping, commonly aiding issues like anxiety and depression.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills (DBT Skills)
We teach
DBT skills to help you manage intense emotions, cope with distress, and improve relationships. Our focus is on four key areas:
- Mindfulness: Staying present and aware without judgment.
- Distress Tolerance: Handling crises and painful emotions safely.
- Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing strong feelings.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Communicating needs and setting healthy boundaries.
Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy
Humanistic/Person-Centered Therapy is based on the idea that everyone has the ability to grow and solve their own problems. We provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment and show empathy, honesty, and respect. By listening carefully we can help you explore your own feelings and experiences.
Play Therapy (for children)
Play therapy helps children express their thoughts and feelings through play instead of words. This can include toys, games, drawing, and storytelling because play is a natural way for children to communicate. We observe and gently guide the play to help your child work through emotions, experiences, or problems.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious thoughts influence current feelings and behaviors. It helps uncover hidden patterns, resolve inner conflicts, and promote deeper self-awareness for lasting emotional growth.
