How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

I utilize CBT quite often in treatment. CBT, more simply explained, is taking a hard look at the core of an issue and working to change how you perceive it, so you are better equipped to deal with it more effectively.

Do you look in the mirror and not like the person you see looking back at you? Do you struggle with depression and anxiety? Do you often experience feelings of despair, sadness, hopelessness, low motivation, and little self-worth? I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger management, trauma, stress, grief, and more. I utilize various treatment methods to empower my clients to improve their lives and start living instead of just existing. If you are suffering from mental health or substance abuse issues, let me help.

This therapist prefers this approach. People learn how to identify and skills that aid in changing destructive thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions.

My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path towards a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice. I accomplish this by helping clients understand how their internal life is interacting with outside stressors causing discomfort and impeding growth. I also endeavor to help clients recognize destructive patterns in personal relationships that may be keeping them from further healing. In addition to private practice experience, I also have pastoral/spiritual counseling experience.

I was extensively trained in CBT, but it's not my preferred approach to therapy. I use it mostly in the initial phases to help stabilize clients before doing deeper work.

I'm a licensed psychologist in Florida that specializes in helping high-achievers, professionals, and entrepreneurs heal attachment issues in relationships, codependency, complex relational trauma, and face other existential dilemmas. I also specialize in providing therapy to other mental health professionals.

I combine CBT with other modalities in every session. Cognitive challenging and awareness of how to reframe our thinking can be a very helpful tool. Are the thoughts you are having helpful or harmful? How do your thoughts effect your actions?

Hello, thank you for reading my profile. I am a Licensed clinical social worker and grief counselor in the NY area. I offer counseling through a virtual platform or in office. My focus is usually with people who struggle with grief and loss, anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress, caregiver support and/or general life stressors. I accept different forms of insurance, private pay, or out of network. I look forward to speaking with you.

I find CBT to be helpful as one tool of many. It's a concrete intervention that teaches us which thoughts trigger overwhelming feelings and then invites us to expand our thought process. Are you considering many different outcomes, or only the worst case scenario? I lean on CBT methods when people seem stuck in unhelpful feedback loops that intensify negative feelings. 

As a clinician, I strive to be intelligent and warm, but also direct. I won't hide behind an anonymous exterior. My sessions are frequently punctuated by wit, insight and spontaneity. I try to be as authentic as possible while prioritizing your well-being and enhancing your capacity to change.

I have extensive training in CBT and research suggestions it's effective in treating issues around anxiety, depression, addiction and more.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you! 

I use CBT almost every session, and train clients on how they can understand and use it too so they feel motivated and empowered between sessions.

I am eager to work with you to focus on your unique needs, goals, and resources. I have extensive experience working a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity and adjustment concerns. I will work with with you directly to determine the best recommendations and options for you including community resources and referrals if appropriate. Everyone deserves to feel heard and supported and you are no exception.

As the name suggests, cognitive behavioral therapy is all about changing your thoughts and actions.  The therapist works with you to determine what thoughts or behaviors might be working against you, and uses techniques that are proven to help you challenge and replace those thoughts and actions. This process is work, and it’s important to remember that in therapy you’ll often notice small changes at first. However, with commitment over time, lead to bigger and bigger improvements in your life.

I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Southeastern Ohio. I take a holistic view of mental health that incorporates spirituality, relationships, mindfulness, and mind-body connection. 

I have years of experience with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is the foundational method I use for motivational interviewing and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT).  Our thoughts control our actions, which lead to our actions (good or bad) and result in consequences.  To change our life's consequences we learn how to alter our thought processes, which alter our actions, which lead to more optimal consequences.

Hi, am not the typical ALC.  I have over 4 decades of adult life experience including parenting, managing stress, anxiety, and depression, and my specialization is motivational interviewing for adults.  Anything can be accomplished with the appropriate mindset.  Do you ever feel stuck?  I can help you get unstuck by assisting you to make livable changes in your life.

CBT is a systematic, collaborative method that encourages people to actively participate in their own mental health. It works particularly well for a variety of conditions, such as anxiety, depression, phobias, and illnesses linked to stress. Together, we can assist your patients in gaining insightful understanding and creating enduring plans for a better and more satisfying life.

I treat various patients, including ages 5 and up, and all socioeconomic ranges. I aim to provide my patients with whatever they need through our outpatient programs. I embrace a holistic approach to the care I provide to my patients.
