Personalized Evidence-Based Approach
Everyone has unique needs and desires for therapy. Dr. Selles uses skills and concepts from psychological therapies that have been proven effective for helping people overcome difficulties while adjusting his approach to fit the concerns and preferences of each client.
For most concerns, including anxiety, worry, and OCD, Dr. Selles' approach is centered around:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Understanding and modifying relationships between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Learning to step back from difficult experiences in order to pursue the life you want.
Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)
Intentionally facing fears without using compulsions or other safety behaviors.
Where appropriate, these approaches are supplemented with additional strategies from:
Habit Reversal Training (HRT) & Functional Analysis
Increasing awareness to urges and triggers while developing more helpful alternative responses.
Skills Training & Dialetcial Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Developing practical living skills like goal-setting, communication, empathy, and problem-solving.
Family Therapy & Parent Management Training (PMT)
Helping caregivers manage concerns in ways that promote well-being and positive relationships.
