Question 1

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

Accepted Answer

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy that focuses on helping clients understand and adjust the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to their distress. CBT typically involves a collaborative partnership between the client and therapist, with an emphasis on active participation, homework assignments, and practical skills training.

Question 2

How long does therapy typically last?

Accepted Answer

I typically see clients for about 20 weekly sessions. After that length of treatment, research has shown that clients often experience diminishing returns in terms of therapy helpfulness. Depending on presenting difficulties, treatment plans may be shorter or longer in duration.

Question 3

Do you offer teletherapy or online therapy services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, my practice is predominantly online.

Question 4

Do you accept insurance?

Accepted Answer

I am not enrolled in any insurance panels, but do I provide clients with a superbill each month that they can submit to their insurance company for any out-of-network benefits to which they may be entitled.
