I'm a seasoned psychotherapist with 20+ years experience working with adults and adolescents. My style of working with clients is predominantly emotion-focused and experiential, with emphasis on the body and what is happening in the present moment. Although talking about our issues and gaining insights into them can be helpful, I don't believe that ultimately heals us; what does is working them through (or "digesting") them in our bodies.
I am very interactive and engaging. I don't believe just letting someone talk is curative. With clients who have anxiety, I teach them how to regulate their anxiety in the present moment and help them get to the engine (warded off feelings) that drives their anxiety.
With clients with depression, for example, I help them become aware of the things they do which inadvertently perpetuate their depression and ultimately turn toward and work through what they've been avoiding (but in a safe, supportive environment) so they and be free of their depression.
