Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is useful for changing specific habits or thought patterns, particularly those related to anxiety and depression. CBT focuses on observing your thoughts and how they lead to behaviors rather than unconscious emotions. We will work together to understand:

1. Emotional Intelligence 

Experiencing an emotion is kind of like going through high school: when you’re in it, nothing feels more important. But when it’s over, you’re left wondering what that was all about.

2. Self Awareness 

Self-awareness involves understanding yourself and your behavior on three levels: 1) what you’re doing, 2) how you feel about it, and 3) the hardest part, figuring out what you don’t know about yourself.

3. Channeling Your Emotions

Emotions are merely the signals that tell us to pay attention to something. We can then decide whether or not that "something" is important and choose the best course of action in addressing it—or not

4. What Motivates You

Pay attention to how you feel before, during, and after whatever it is you’re doing and use those emotions to guide your future behavior.

5. Create Healthy Relationships

Recognizing and accepting emotions in others is a skill that can only be learned. Know how to do this saves you from learning the hard way. 

6. Uncover your values

we’re always choosing what we value, whether we know it or not. And our emotions will carry out those values through motivating our behavior in some way. In order to live the life you truly want to live, you have to first be clear about what you truly value because that’s where your emotional energy will be directed.

And knowing what you truly value—not just what you think you should value—is probably the most emotionally intelligent skill you can develop.
