What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps you identify and reframe negative thoughts that affect how you feel and act. Rather than focusing only on the past, CBT emphasizes the here and now, working on current issues and building skills to manage future challenges.

Who Can Benefit from CBT?

CBT is a flexible and adaptable approach that can be tailored for individuals of all ages, including children, teens, and adults. It can be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other therapies depending on your needs.

  • CBT is especially effective in treating:
  • Depression and low self-esteem
  • Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Panic attacks and phobias

Commonly Asked Questions

What is CBT, and how is it different from other types of therapy?
CBT focuses on the connection between my thoughts, feelings, and actions. Unlike other therapies that may focus on the past, CBT helps me identify negative thinking patterns and teaches me how to replace them with healthier, more realistic thoughts.
How long does CBT usually take?
CBT is generally short-term. Many people start to see changes in 8 to 12 sessions, but the length can vary based on what I’m dealing with and how I respond to therapy.
Can CBT help with multiple issues at once?
Yes. CBT can be tailored to help me address multiple concerns, like anxiety and depression at the same time. My therapist will create a plan based on my unique situation.
Will I need to take medication along with CBT?
Not necessarily. CBT is effective on its own for many people. However, in some cases, combining CBT with medication may offer the best results. I can talk to my therapist and doctor to decide what’s right for me.
What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?
CBT is a very practical, hands-on approach. Even if I’ve tried other therapies, CBT might offer a fresh perspective and effective tools I haven’t used before. It’s worth exploring with an open mind.
