What is telephone therapy? |
Once you have decided on counseling, what should you expect
on calling?
The first appointment resembles a visit to your family doctor,
lots of questions but with much more time to answer. Telephone
therapy is not different in this respect then ordinary face to face counseling.
Therapy is always confidential and non-judgmental.
In my approach I emphasis improving communication skills and gaining better
self-awareness that will help you obtain your goals and feel more content
with you life. I believe compassion and empathy is the base of
a good therapist.
I use a variation of interventions based on the needs and objectives
of each client. These can include all or any of these techniques:
- Traditional talk therapy
- Cognitive therapy that may include journaling and written exercises
- Art therapy for exploration and expression of emotions
- Relaxation techniques
- Explore communication skills
- Anger management
- Exploration of childhood/family dynamics
- Identify triggers (sensitive points usually originating from childhood)
