When developing a therapy plan for a new client as a Tennessee Mental Health Therapist at SonderMind, I would begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment to understand the client's unique needs and goals. Collaborating with the client is crucial to ensure their input is valued, which will enhance engagement and commitment to the therapeutic process.

As a Tennessee Mental Health Therapist, I am most comfortable using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches. I believe in tailoring my therapeutic modality to the specific needs and preferences of each client to achieve optimal outcomes.

In a previous role, I worked with a client experiencing severe anxiety. The case was challenging due to their resistance to therapy initially. I learned the importance of building rapport and trust and ultimately shifted my approach to focus on gradual exposure techniques, which significantly improved their engagement and progress.

Ensuring confidentiality and building trust are paramount in therapy. I make it a point to discuss the limits of confidentiality at the outset, reassuring clients about their privacy. Additionally, I foster an open and non-judgmental environment that encourages honest communication.

When faced with a client crisis, I employ de-escalation techniques first, ensuring the client feels safe and heard. I then assess the situation calmly and collaboratively create a safety plan that aligns with the client’s needs and circumstances.

I find that it enhances accessibility for clients and allows me to connect with individuals across different regions, which has been particularly beneficial during the recent global shifts towards remote health care.
