I also utilize cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches both in play therapy and individual work with adults and caregivers.
Does your child show signs of anxiety, aggression, defiance, low confidence, impulsivity? Are you frustrated that other people just don't seem to get your kid or understand how hard it all feels? Do you feel stuck in caregiving "shoulds" that seem to just leave you all feeling stuck in the same pattern of conflict and dysregulation? I'm here to help. I see myself as a curious and compassionate partner to children and their caregivers as we explore the needs under "problematic" behaviors. In playful and engaging ways, together we learn to meet these challenges with confidence and connection.

I also use CBT and solution focused therapies.
Most people who contact me for therapy are serious about getting the help they need. They want a therapist they can trust. As a clinical social worker I work with my clients to help them identify their goals and challenges. Like most therapists I offer a safe environment, acceptance, and concern. I may also offer feedback and make suggestions but I believe that it is the client's responsibility to decide how they want to resolve their specific issues.

Dr. Klenck holds specialized training in evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, exposure therapy, and mindfulness-based practices for the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar and related disorders and a wide range of other difficulties. Dr. Klenck focuses on evidence-based treatment and evidence-based assessment practices, but finds the most important factor in therapy is the therapeutic relationship. Without a strong alliance with the client, she finds a therapist is limited in their ability to help the individual effect change.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists

How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.

When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?

It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.

How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?

To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.

Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?

CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
