Clinical Framework-CBT

1. Schema:  Identify past or current experiences that directly impact short or long-term  thoughts, emotions and behavioral responses.  

Client and clinician work together to identify the event/incident & underlying cause of current stressors.

2. Measurement Tools: Complete new and review previous assessment rating scales  to measure progress or regressions.

Client and clinician work together to complete rating scales to establish a base-line  score or intensity of the problematic emotions  & behaviors. 

3. Client Report: Review assigned homework, discuss current stressors or improvements and implement intervention practices during sessions. 

Homework and interventions range from therapeutic experiments, journaling, record keeping, mood apps, CBT & DBT techniques and more evidenced-based practices.

4. Summary & Closing:  Assign new homework, tasks,  or short-term goals between sessions. Summarize the current session and solicit feedback between clinician and client. 

Apply learned interventions  in real-life situations.  Shared feedback on the therapeutic relationship and session.
