How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work, and what do sessions look like?
CBT focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In sessions, we’ll work together to identify patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, stress, or self-doubt and explore healthier, more balanced ways of responding. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with tools and strategies you can practice between sessions. The goal is to build greater self-awareness, confidence, and coping skills that you can use in everyday life.
Hi, I’m Shawnda Dewberry, LMSW. I offer a warm, supportive space for adults navigating anxiety, depression, stress, self-doubt, trauma, anger, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. My approach blends compassion with practical tools using CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, journaling, and trauma-informed care. What makes my work unique is helping clients feel truly seen while also gently challenging patterns that keep them stuck. Clients can walk away with stronger coping skills, more self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, healthier boundaries, and greater confidence to move forward with clarity and hope.
