How does Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) work?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by helping clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their mental health issues. Through CBT, clients learn to reframe these thoughts and develop healthier coping mechanisms. This therapy is effective in reducing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other conditions by promoting more balanced thinking and encouraging positive behavior changes.

Medication management is a key part of the treatment process, alongside effective therapy and reducing environmental stressors. I understand the stress and anxiety that come with finding and accessing high-quality psychiatric care.

I feel CBT is a great approach for a lot of people. Our thoughts can be confused with our reality. If we deeply believed our thoughts and not allowing other perspectives to exist, then we can trap ourselves into certain scenario and feel the pain. It sounds philosophical eventually!

Helping a client regulate thoughts, beliefs and behaviors; having clients journaling the logs helps to understand patterns and behaviors where they can intervene and change. This ultimately allows the client understanding and autonomy to change their lifestyle.

I believe this has allowed me the ability to provide the best possible care for my clients. A little about me, I grew up in the PNW, love the outdoors to specifically include anything water or mountains. In the spring and summer months, you will find me kayaking, jet skiing, white water river rafting, hiking and backpacking. The winter months, I enjoy hiking and snowshoeing. My ultimate passion and future goal include international traveling and possibly settling on a beach but continuing to practice telehealth. I am so glad you are here and have decided to embrace this journey together. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented therapeutic approach that aims to identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I utilize CBT to help clients recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging distorted thinking patterns, clients can develop more adaptive coping strategies and improve their overall well-being. CBT is highly effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and addiction. By teaching client's practical skills to manage their symptoms, CBT empowers them to take control of their lives and make lasting positive changes.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental health Nurse Practitioner. I treat clients across the lifespan and a sub-specialization in child and adolescents and addiction medicine. I make the experience a positive, supportive, and at times fun one. I am very clinical but I remove the "clinical feeling" from the experience. I am very client-focused and develop unique treatment plans that actually help them achieve their goals. I treat numerous areas of psychiatry including, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, PTSD and Trauma, Family/Couples therapy, sleep and appetite, Schizophrenia, OCD, ODD, personality, and eating disorders and addiction. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and supportive therapy. I learn about each individual client and learn my client's "story" so as to understand where they have been, where they are, and where they need/want to go. I also get to the "why" for each client, which is oftentimes the most important question. I utilize humor and my clients engage particularly well. My clients often say I should do standup psychiatry. My clients oftentimes ask me how I know them so well. I am famous for actively listening. My clients feel they receive my clinical expertise without feeling the clinical aspects of what one may expect in psychiatry. I am highly supportive and provide relevant health education. I utilize a team-based approach. I don't speak at my clients I speak with them. Anxiety in anticipation of the "first meeting" will be replaced by feeling more relaxed, comfortable, in a better mood, and more confident after the meeting than prior to it. They can also expect that their needs will be addressed and feel they have been "heard" by me. I am different than most in this regard as I treat my patients as I would a family member, and they can definitely feel it.

Our thoughts affect our behaviors and so at each session we look at those patterns, we look at those thoughts and change them. We break the cycle and create new, healthy patterns.

I'm a Licensed practitioner in both Florida and Pennsylvania. My goal is to help you. I never want you to feel like you're alone or can't do this. While I work with children and adults with a variety of concerns, my ultimate goal is to empower you. I want to help you break the cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors and embrace the future with confidence.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about fact-checking your brain. We all have an "Inner Critic" that tells us lies like "I'm not good enough" or "If I make a mistake, everyone will hate me." CBT helps us catch those automatic thoughts, put them on trial, and replace them with more realistic, compassionate thoughts. It is a practical, skills-based approach that gives you tools you can use immediately.

Hi, I’m Jenn. I'm a Resident in Counseling and the founder of The Mind Garden, a boutique, online-only practice in Virginia. I specialize in helping millennials who are exhausted from holding it all together. If you are the person everyone else relies on, but you feel like you have no one to lean on yourself, you are in the right place. If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the inability to say "no" without guilt, I can help you move from surviving your life to inhabiting it. My approach is warm, evidence-based (IFS & CBT), and entirely human-first.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy posits that problems people experience are based on unhelpful ways of thinking and on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior. One way to find relief from day-to-day problems is to learn better ways of coping with these thinking and behavior patterns. There are a number of well-researched strategies that your therapist will use to help you recognize when you fall into old patterns and examine whether those thoughts and behaviors are helpful. This therapy targets problems occurring in the here and now.

I help women and men overcome anxiety, depression, loss, and relational difficulties. I specialize in empowering women by developing their self-worth and confidence through individual therapy, group therapy, and specialized retreats. My approach is an integration of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral modalities, which means I will explore the way you experienced the world from birth until present in order to identify habits and behaviors that have become roadblocks to living in alignment with the person you want to be. I utilize LifeMaps, a collaborative treatment plan where you can track progress and see your therapy notes. I am a Licensed Psychologist and the CEO of Create Outcomes and have over 20 years of experience helping people of all ages from a variety of backgrounds. I have also supervised other clinicians for over 10 years. I co-host What It Takes To Heal, a podcast that aims to demystify the therapeutic process and details what successful therapy looks like. I've served as a director in a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient facilities, outpatient clinics, non-profit organizations, and in juvenile justice programs. The C.R.E.A.T.E. Outcomes model was informed by this work as a way to provide care that is self aware and aligned with the client's values, while also systematically tracking progress.
