Dr. Gutierrez often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and difficulties with eating and weight. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and intimacy, helping people shift long-standing patterns related to abandonment, trust, and closeness.
