The Many Paths to Healing: What the Most Common Therapy Approaches Actually Do
If you’ve ever wondered what actually happens in therapy, you’re not alone.
A lot of people imagine therapy as sitting in a chair, venting about life, and waiting for an “aha” moment.
But at True Bloom Therapy, we see it differently.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s a personalized process that helps you explore your emotions, patterns, and values- using approaches backed by research, compassion, and real results.
Every therapist on our team blends clinical expertise with empathy, using evidence-based techniques to meet you exactly where you are.
Here’s what that can look like in practice.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Restructuring Unhelpful Thoughts
CBT helps you notice and challenge the thoughts that shape how you feel and behave.
If you tend to spiral into self-doubt, worry, or all-or-nothing thinking, CBT helps you rewrite that internal script.
It’s not about forcing positivity, it’s about finding balance and building new ways of responding to stress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Learning Emotional Regulation
DBT combines mindfulness and emotional awareness. It’s especially helpful if your emotions feel “too big” or hard to manage.
In session, you might learn skills for calming your body, setting boundaries, and staying grounded when life gets chaotic.
It’s all about finding peace between acceptance and change.
Solution-Focused Therapy: Creating Forward Movement
Sometimes you don’t need to unpack your entire past to move forward.
Solution-Focused Therapy helps you identify what’s already working and how to build on it.
We focus on small, realistic steps — because even tiny shifts can lead to big growth.
Choice Theory: Rediscovering Balance
Choice Theory explores the different areas of your life like relationships, work, health, and personal growth to see where things feel off-balance or unfulfilling.
Together, we help you reconnect with what you can control and make empowered choices that align with your values.
It’s not about perfection… it’s about taking ownership of your happiness.
Gestalt Therapy: The Power of the Present Moment
Gestalt focuses on the “here and now.”
It helps you become more aware of your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations in the moment so you can understand yourself more fully and respond with intention.
Many clients describe it as feeling more connected to themselves after each session.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Quieting the Noise
Mindfulness interventions help you slow down, breathe, and be fully present.
If your mind feels like it’s always running, mindfulness helps you find calm in the middle of the chaos - grounding you in awareness instead of anxiety.
Existential Therapy: Redefining Meaning and Purpose
When life feels uncertain or disconnected, existential therapy helps you reflect on what truly matters.
It’s about exploring freedom, choice, and meaning & redefining your values so you can live more intentionally.
Many women find this approach especially helpful during major life transitions or identity shifts.
The True Bloom Approach
At True Bloom Therapy, we don’t just talk about your problems…we help you redesign your life around your purpose.
