We work together as an investigative team, encourage self-monitoring, self-help, develop coping strategies for real losses and actual deficits, customize therapy interventions, use gentle humor, set agenda for therapy sessions, give constructive feedback to direct the course of therapy, employ common cognitive therapy and other therapeutic techniques.
