Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Today, CBT is considered to be the gold standard in evidence-based psychotherapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about developing resilience and coping skills. CBT can be an effective way to improve your frame of mind. The concept behind CBT is recognizing the negative or distorted thoughts we have and understanding how realistic they actually are. Because our thoughts, feelings and behaviors can influence each other, we can change how we feel by identifying how they are related and what they trigger. CBT helps us manage our feelings, so we may develop a happier and healthier outlook on life.
Mindfulness
Through mindfulness techniques, Luc helps clients bring awareness into the present moment and get in touch with their authentic selves. He has found that mindfulness can often be the gateway for greater healing and growth, as well as insight into ourselves and others. Through simple exercises, individuals can practice paying attention to their breathing in order to strengthen their ability to pay attention in their daily lives. Clients often report that mindfulness allows them to develop greater relaxation and awareness in their day-to-day experiences. Research has shown mindfulness to be very effective for a variety of issues, including depression and anxiety.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT helps clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives. With this understanding, clients begin to accept their issues and hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behaviors, regardless of what is going on in their lives, and how they feel about it.
Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprograming
EMDR is a psychotherapeutic technique designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. During EMDR sessions, clients recall distressing events while engaging in bilateral stimulation. This dual attention process helps reprocess memories, reducing their emotional intensity and enabling adaptive resolution. Originally developed for trauma, EMDR has expanded to address various psychological conditions. Its efficacy and widespread use have made it a well-established and researched therapeutic modality in mental health treatment.
Internal Family Systems
IFS is a therapeutic approach that views the mind as a system of subpersonalities or "parts". IFS explores how these parts function and aims to foster harmony within the psyche. Therapy involves identifying and understanding these parts, often associated with different emotions or roles, and promoting a compassionate, self-led leadership style known as the "Self". By facilitating communication among these internal components, IFS seeks to heal emotional wounds and enhance overall wellbeing.
