Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
Is a perpetually negative outlook bringing you down and impacting your relationships with others? Does it sometimes feel like the whole world is against you? If you've been experiencing a host of dissatisfying emotions, you're not alone. Many people struggle with mental and emotional difficulties at one point in life or another. But if you're looking to break the cycle in favor of a healthier, more content way of thinking, it's time to schedule an appointment with Linda L. Baley, LPC in Fort Worth, TX to learn more about cognitive therapy.
Changing the Way You Think
Cognitive therapy seeks to help people like you change their thought processes and reactions for the better. This form of treatment is designed to help you modify your thinking and behavior so that your outlook and interactions with others can improve. Though results usually don't come overnight, with time, cognitive therapy may help you become a happier, more well-adjusted individual.
Even if you've never seen a therapist before, you owe it to yourself to give cognitive therapy a chance. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call Linda L. Baley, LPC at 817-668-6710 today.
Mindfulness Based Therapy
In addition, Linda L. Baley uses mindfulness based therapy in her practice. She has discovered that many people can gain health and wellness through contemplative practices of both science and insight meditation. These practices focus attention on the present experience in a way that is non-judgmental. Mindfulness practice is ideal for creating a greater awareness of the unity of mind and body and recognizing ways that thoughts, feelings and behaviors can undermine emotional health.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy
Another important orientation used by Linda L. Baley is Solution Focused Brief Therapy. She supports clients in identifying times in their life when things matched more closely with the future they prefer. Differences and similarities between the two occasions are examined. Solutions develop when the therapist and client are able to develop the expectation of a useful and satisfactory change. By bringing small successes to awareness, clients are supported to repeat the preferred futures they have identified. With some patients this process is brief and works effectively.
