My Approach
My work is guided by treatment models approved by the American Psychological Association, being the gold standard in reference in complaints related to anxiety, depression, relationships and personality disorders.
Behavioral Analytic Therapy (CAT) is a therapeutic model based on the principles of behavior analysis. This approach aims to help patients understand their behaviors and feelings, and to change unhealthy functional patterns of behaviors that are affecting their quality of life.
TAC emphasizes the importance of detailed analysis of present behavior rather than focusing only on past events. The behavior analytic therapist works with the patient to identify problem behaviors and develop strategies to change them.
Behavioral analytic therapy is a complex, deep, and broad approach that includes a variety of techniques and methods, such as modeling, systematic desensitization, social skills training, acceptance and commitment therapy, among others. However, the main thing is the functional analysis of behavior, which aims to understand the contexts in which certain behaviors occur and which factors collaborate so that it continues to occur, even producing suffering and anguish. The main focus is to help the patient develop skills and strategies to deal with life's challenges in a more adaptive and healthy way.
