Bipolar Disorder
Janese Leatherbury
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LiCSW
My approach to treating bipolar disorder in therapy is structured, collaborative, and grounded in both stabilization and insight. I prioritize creating a consistent, supportive space where clients can increase awareness of mood patterns, triggers, and early warning signs of both depressive and hypomanic/manic episodes. Together, we focus on strengthening mood monitoring, sleep hygiene, daily routines, and coping strategies that promote regulation and stability.
I integrate psychoeducation about bipolar disorder to reduce shame and increase empowerment, while utilizing CBT and DBT-informed interventions to address impulsivity, racing thoughts, depressive distortions, and emotional intensity. We also explore underlying stressors, attachment patterns, and life experiences that may interact with mood vulnerability. When appropriate, I collaborate with psychiatric providers to support medication adherence and coordinated care.
Throughout treatment, I emphasize balance—supporting clients in honoring their strengths, creativity, and ambition while building safeguards that protect their well-being. My goal is to help clients develop insight, stability, and sustainable rhythms that allow them to live fully and intentionally.
