By Darrell Provinse, MA, LPC, NCC Because we, at ACCS, use a multi-factorial approach to counseling, we use an integrative model in dealing with anxieties, phobias, and PTSD. This includes traditional cognitive interventions, as well as gradual exposure and systematic desensitization, coupled with advanced relaxation techniques, and, as the situation merits, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, neuro-linguistic programming, and cognitive process therapy. This allows the therapist to address the biology of fear, as well as the thought process, the neurological process, and the behavioral process, which together produce better traction and long-term results.
