In pursuit of his clients' goals in therapy, Frank understands that there is no "one-size-fit-all" in therapy. He diversifies his approach according to the life situation of his clients. He utilizes cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), DBT, mindfulness, IFS, positive psychology, person-centered, motivational and solution focus therapy in his work with clients. Since Frank understands that everyone carries a "life-backpack" of personal history and experiences, he believes it's possible to find triggers for current situations within both the individual's past and present. Therefore, he deeply explores these aspects using psychoanalysis and CBT to find solutions to present situations. Frank believes that people are the actors in their lives' movies; therefore, he uses person-centered philosophy of positive regard in the journey toward therapeutic goals. Lastly, due to Frank's exposure to multicultural settings, he creates a culturally sensitive environment that enables his clients to freely express themselves.
