Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to manage mood, anxiety, and behaviors, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and many daily stressors. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and coping after trauma. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative conversation style designed to strengthen motivation and clarify personal goals, especially useful for addressing addictions and ambivalence about change.

Dr. Graham collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. This collaborative process helps shape a personalized plan that aligns with the individual's values and circumstances.
