Role

Therapist

Recovery focus

Co-occurring

Other focus areas

EMDR

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. A structured trauma therapy that helps the brain re-file painful memories so they stop hijacking the present.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Spots the thought-feeling-action loops that fuel urges, then rewires them with practical skills you take into the moment.

DBT

Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Pairs acceptance with change. Especially useful when emotions feel too big to ride out without acting on them.

ACT

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Stops fighting hard feelings and instead points your action toward what you actually value.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention. Practices noticing urges without acting on them, building the gap between trigger and choice.

Solution-focused

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Spends less time on the why and more on what already works, then does more of that on purpose.

Family systems

Family Systems work. Brings the people closest to you into the recovery picture, since urges and relationships rarely live in separate boxes.

Trauma-informed care

Trauma-Informed Care. Approaches addiction as something layered on top of unprocessed trauma, not in isolation. Pacing matters more than confrontation.
