Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) has a broader area of treatment with goals to help people learn to cope with and better manage responses to life’s stresses. CBT is designed to help a person understand and change patterns of behavior that create boundaries when achieving personal goals, having satisfying relationships, and feeling fulfilled. CBT is a short-term, problem-focused form of behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events – rather than the events themselves – that determines how he or she will feel and act in response.

CBT can help with:

Depression
Anxiety
Panic attacks
Phobias
Obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD)
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Substance dependency
Persistent pain
Disordered eating
Sexual issues
Anger management issues

Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. If any of the above issues resonate with you, I encourage you to try cognitive behavioral therapy.

With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust the thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior. This adjustment process is referred to as cognitive reconstructing, which happens through different CBT techniques.

Some CBT techniques are:

Journaling
Challenging beliefs
Relaxation
Meditation
Mindfulness
Social, physical and thinking exercises

Cognitive behavioral therapy is much more than sitting and talking about whatever comes to mind during a session. CBT sessions are structured to ensure that the therapist and the person in treatment are focused on the different goals of each session, which in turn ensures that each and every session is productive.

Sessions will take place with a licensed provider (LCSW, LPC) and will focus on exploring a person’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build a healthy thinking style and positive behaviors.
