Therapy Modalities
We Offer
Mental health struggles are more common than most people think, and there are many ways to treat them. At Drift Behavioral Health, we use proven, personalized therapy approaches to help adults feel supported and take back control of their lives.
Understanding Therapy Modalities
A therapy modality is simply a specific method or approach to talk therapy. Each one has its own tools, goals, and focus areas. Some focus on thoughts and behaviors, while others explore relationships, emotions, or trauma. These approaches are backed by evidence and research showing their effectiveness. For example, the National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that individual therapy improves symptoms across a range of mental illnesses. Its effectiveness makes it a popular and versatile treatment option.
Evidence-Based Treatment at Drift Behavioral Health
Our team uses a wide range of evidence-based therapies to meet each client’s unique needs. We tailor our approach depending on your diagnosis, goals, and personal history, so you can heal in a way that works best for you. Our providers are trained in multiple modalities and will help guide you through your treatment journey with care and clarity.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps people recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns. It’s especially useful for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and OCD.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT was developed for borderline personality disorder, but now helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and reduce self-harm.
Psychotherapy
Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy explores your thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. It’s a broad term that includes many therapy styles.
Motivational Interviewing
This collaborative, goal-oriented approach helps people find their own motivation to change. It’s often used for substance use, ambivalence, and behavior change.
Narrative Therapy
Developed in the 1980s, narrative therapy helps people reframe their personal stories and reduce the influence of harmful beliefs.
Interpersonal Therapy
Interpersonal therapy focuses on improving communication and relationships. It’s especially helpful for depression, grief, and social anxiety.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
This modality helps people process and regulate emotions more healthily. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles.
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)
IFS explores the “parts” within us (like the inner critic or the protector) and helps them work together with less conflict. It’s often used for trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness techniques help people slow down, focus on the present, and reduce reactivity. It supports stress relief, anxiety management, and emotional awareness.
Recreational and Experiential Therapies
At Drift, we believe in healing through creativity and movement. These therapies include:
- Outdoor activities
- Recreational therapy
- Yoga
- Meditation
- Art therapy
- Music therapy
- Skill-building activities that promote confidence and daily life functioning

Our team includes licensed clinicians, such as LCSWs, who work with you one-on-one to build trust and help you move forward at your own pace.
Trauma-Informed Care
This approach prioritizes safety, empowerment, and trust. It helps clients feel respected and supported throughout their healing process.
We provide practical information about mental health conditions and treatments so clients understand their symptoms and feel more in control. This helps people learn how to manage their condition and make informed decisions about care.
We include creative outlets, mindfulness tools, and life skill development to support the emotional, mental, and physical parts of recovery. This integrated approach helps clients feel grounded, empowered, and better equipped to navigate daily life.
