WHAT PSYCHOLOGY TECHNIQUES ARE USED IN THESE CONSULTATIONS?

Since no patient or problem is the same, I use various clinical psychology techniques depending on the person, the problem, the context or the phase of treatment we are in.

Some of the techniques I use the most:

 - 3rd Generation Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (3rd Wave CBT) - a set of therapeutic approaches that expand beyond traditional cognitive behavioral therapy  ). 

While 2nd Wave CBT focuses primarily on changing negative thoughts and behaviors, 3rd Wave CBT includes techniques that cover a broader perspective, including psychological, biological and social aspects, such as:

- Mindfulness: focusing on the present moment and accepting it without judgment; 

- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): helping people to deal with difficult thoughts and feelings in a positive way;

- Goal-based therapy: setting and achieving specific goals to improve quality of life;

- Values-centered therapy: helping people to identify and follow their most important values;

- Neuroscience therapy: using neuroscience principles to understand and treat mental disorders;

- Person-centered psychotherapy: developing a positive and trusting therapeutic relationship to help the person explore their feelings and behaviors;

- Group psychotherapy: working with a group of people with similar problems to gain mutual support and perspectives;

- Family psychotherapy: working with family members to improve family dynamics and solve relationship problems;

- Exposure therapy: gradually facing fears and phobias to overcome them.
