My personal journey as a patient myself:
- Almost 10 years in psychotherapy and no results at all!!
- I was unable to deal with problems at work: no productivity and dissatisfied with the type of job I was doing
- Frequent panic attacks, constant shame and a horrible inferiority complex
This frustrating situation made me more conscious and empathic to people looking for help since their professional and family stability as well as their health are at stake
I was unable to make any changes until I personally found TEAM CBT, created by Dr David D Burns

My conclusion
Doing teamwork with your therapist in fundamental as you are the only one to feedback him / her on your progress, which will define other possible options for improvement
This is completely different from traditional psychotherapy

How can I take therapy?
Online sessions
Intensive treatment on-site
In person sessions
Research has shown that, under certain conditions, telepsychology can be as effective as in-person treatments. Some basic conditions are:
- A computer and a good wifi signal
- Private place where you can openly talk
- Familiar with the basic use of Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft TEAMS
- Access to Google Docs (writing tasks will be required!)
