CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical tools for coping. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the effects of past trauma through strategies that reduce distress and promote healing, which is relevant for survivors of abuse and other traumatic experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences.
