About Dr. Khousadian as a Cognitive Behavioral therapist
CBT
As a Certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (CBT), I am passionate about helping individuals create positive change in their lives by transforming the way they think, feel, and behave. CBT is a powerful, evidence-based therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and changing negative thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors. With a solid foundation in psychology and education, I use this approach to empower clients to overcome challenges, manage stress, and build resilience.
My Approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT is grounded in the principle that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all interconnected. Negative or unhelpful thought patterns often lead to emotional distress and can influence how we respond to situations. By identifying and challenging these patterns, we can develop healthier and more adaptive ways of thinking and reacting.
In our sessions, I employ a variety of CBT techniques, including:
1. Cognitive Restructuring
This technique helps clients identify negative or irrational thoughts and replace them with more balanced and realistic ones. By addressing cognitive distortions, such as overgeneralization or catastrophizing, we can change the way we perceive situations and improve our emotional responses.
2. Behavioral Activation
Many people who struggle with depression or anxiety often disengage from activities that once brought them joy. Through behavioral activation, we work together to reintroduce enjoyable or meaningful activities into your daily routine, fostering a sense of accomplishment and well-being.
3. Mindfulness-Based CBT
Combining mindfulness practices with CBT techniques helps clients become more aware of their thoughts and emotions in the present moment, without judgment. This practice enables individuals to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and enhance overall emotional regulation.
4. Exposure Therapy
For individuals dealing with phobias, trauma, or anxiety, exposure therapy helps gradually and systematically face feared situations in a safe and controlled way. By confronting fears step-by-step, clients can reduce anxiety and build confidence in their ability to cope with discomfort.
5. Problem-Solving Techniques
I work with clients to develop effective problem-solving skills, allowing them to address life challenges with confidence and clarity. By breaking down complex issues into manageable steps, we create practical solutions that are achievable and aligned with personal goals.
What to Expect in Sessions
During our sessions, I provide a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can freely express yourself. We will work collaboratively to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, setting clear goals and developing practical strategies for change. You will leave each session with actionable tools to apply in your daily life, which can help you manage stress, improve relationships, and achieve a sense of balance.
