Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological counseling that has been shown to be effective for various issues, including anxiety, depression, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and trauma-related challenges. Numerous research studies suggest that CBT leads to significant improvement in functioning and quality of life, especially for neurodivergent individuals. In many studies, CBT has been demonstrated to be as effective as, or more effective than, other forms of psychological therapy or psychiatric medications.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented approach to psychotherapy that derives from traditional behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. This method is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, and trauma, including those who are neurodivergent. Clients learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions, recognizing that these deeper feelings are valid responses to specific situations. Instead of letting their emotions hinder their progress, clients begin to accept their hardships and commit to making necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of the challenges they face or how they feel about them.

Motivational interviewing is a counseling approach designed to help individuals, including those who are neurodivergent, find the motivation to make positive behavior changes, especially when dealing with anxiety and depression. This client-centered method is particularly effective for people who have mixed feelings about changing their behavior, often stemming from past trauma.

It is very common for people accessing substance use treatment and mental health services to report overwhelming experiences of trauma, often linked to anxiety and depression. Many individuals, including those who are neurodivergent, who have experienced trauma view their use of substances as beneficial, as it helps them cope with trauma-related stress and the emotional challenges that follow.
