Cognitive behavioral techniques look at thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She adjusts pacing and exercises based on what feels most useful and doable for the individual.
