Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, growing to become a widely used theoretical...
In my work with clients, I use a really practical, active and results-oriented approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).

They have this nagging feeling that they're not good enough and too often compare themselves to the people around them. They're not great with personal boundaries and would rather disappoint themselves than o...
