Dr. Downing addresses therapy primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy perspective. He believes that focusing on the interconnectedness of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions to reduce the impact from present-day stressors is the most clinically appropriate approach to therapy. He encourages open feedback in sessions to create a collaborative dynamic when formulating treatment plans. Regular homework is assigned between sessions to focus on personal strengths, build practical skills, and progress toward eventual therapeutic independence.
