Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It operates on the premise that our thoughts, emotions, and actions are interconnected, and by altering negative thoughts, we can change our emotional responses and behaviors.

 

CBT is typically short-term and helps clients develop practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. The therapy encourages individuals to challenge unhelpful beliefs and replace them with healthier, more realistic ways of thinking. CBT is widely used for treating a variety of conditions, including anxiety, depression, phobias, and PTSD, and can be adapted to both individual and group therapy settings.
