Explain your therapeutic approach with the client, including the perceived effectiveness of your approach.

My therapeutic approach with clients is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy and an emphasis on positive communication. I strive to help my clients identify and change their thought patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that may be impacting their lives in a negative way. I use active listening techniques to help them gain insight into how they think, feel, act, and interact with others.

In addition, I use problem solving skills to encourage them to develop new strategies for dealing with challenging situations. I believe that this approach works well because it helps my clients become aware of how their thinking is affecting their behavior while also providing them the tools needed to make meaningful changes in their lives.
