Getting to know Larita Mullins

Hi there, I'm Larita! Welcome to my practice! I appreciate your allowing me to be of assistance to you. I believe that you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. When you think this way, therapy is more likely to have a positive outcome. Please allow me to describe how I see therapy. I am a licensed clinical social worker, and I am not a medical doctor, so I do not use physical interventions such as medications. I use a cognitive-behavioral approach, which is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, rather than things like people, situations, and events. I am a firm believer that we can change the way we think to feel and act better, even if the situation does not change. My approach I often utilize cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) when working with adults in individual counseling. This is one of the most effective types of therapy. This therapeutic approach helps clients to look at the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. After doing so, the clients will learn to replace negative thought patterns with positive ones. The premise behind CBT is that healthy thoughts often promote feelings and productive actions. My focus I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services that span from therapy for depression to everyday life issues. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client's individual needs, helping them achieve the personal growth they strive for. My communication style Finding a therapist you are comfortable with and cooperating with them can help you get the most out of treatment. When a person is open and honest, I am generally able to address each issue and adjust the treatment approach as needed. It is important to attend each session and complete any homework assigned. Being patient and sticking to the treatment plan can facilitate long-term success in counseling.
