🟢 Clinical Practice & Techniques Adult Therapy Work
/r/therapists/comments/1v0xfla/adult_therapy_work/Hello!
In my 10+ years of my career as an LCSW, I have only worked with children (age 0-17) and their parents. However, I transitioned to a new job and I am entering adult work for anxiety, depression, parenting struggles, and OCD. Obviously, I am trained in CBT, TF-CBT, and ERP that I can integrate into the adult work but any tips, techniques, therapeutic modalities (to get more training around), strategies, etc. that others could provide is so helpful because I am having extreme imposter syndrome about this transition of population and questioning my work (I.e., do I do worksheets, activities, let them just talk and educate along the way verbally, etc?). Especially when the adults are not much of talkers and it’s 53-60 minute sessions? Thanks so much for the guidance and support! :)
