Mae Barree LPC

During our sessions, you will be heard. You can expect me to be compassionate, and understanding. I will do my best to make sure that we communicate effectively. You and I will both take turns, you talk and I will listen, and vice versa. As your therapist, you deserve the best of care, Your growth and healing are my number one concern. As we enter into the client-therapist relationship, we will discuss your concerns and together, develop therapy goals. Your goals will determine how we will proceed with your treatment. Being open and honest is key. Should you have reservations about sharing, let me know so that, if you are not comfortable, we can wait until you are ready to share. Sessions will include assignments of homework and we will review of your completed homework in return visits.

I will integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) treatment methods. At a Client's request, I will pray before the session and provide biblical wisdom in addition to the clinical techniques mentioned previously. With CBT, I will use the ABC Model. A: meaning there is an Activating Event in the Environment, which leads to B: meaning your Behavior in response to the event, and leads to C: meaning consequences. We will take a look at your thoughts and apply therapy techniques with the end goal of reaching desired healing. With Solution Brief Therapy, after hearing your concerns/issue, one time, we will move toward finding solutions rather than focusing on the problem. When we focus on the problem, we are not moving toward finding solutions to help solve it.
