How does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work and how can it help?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It’s one of the most widely used and well-researched therapies for mental health and emotional challenges. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. When we change how we think, we can change how we feel and act. CBT teaches coping strategies like problem-solving, relaxation techniques, and assertiveness training. Clients learn to recognize distorted or automatic thoughts—like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, or overgeneralizing, guide clients in questioning the accuracy of these thoughts and replacing them with more balanced, realistic ones, clients engage in activities that challenge their fears or avoidance patterns, helping them build confidence and resilience, Clients often practice skills between sessions to reinforce learning and apply insights to real-life situations,

Hello! My name is Reagan McGee, and I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized mental health care. I know that exploring options for mental health care can be challenging, and I strive to create a safe, open space where you can feel comfortable and supported. I have over eight years of psychiatric experience across various settings, including inpatient psychiatry, outpatient clinics, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers. My journey in healthcare began in 2015 at Brigham and Women's Hospital, where I worked as an emergency room intern family liaison and mental health advocate. My early nursing career in the emergency room helped me realize the crucial role mental health plays in every aspect of our lives. This realization led me to specialize in psychiatric nursing, where my passion for helping others grew. I spent three years as a nurse at Emma Pendleton Bradley Hospital, working with children, adolescents, and individuals with intellectual disabilities. During this time, I earned my Master’s degree in Nursing with a concentration in mental health from Norwich University. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma, addiction, OCD, Bipolar Disorder, and neurocognitive disorders. My approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration, focusing on creating a personalized treatment plan where you feel empowered. Everyone’s journey is unique, and I’m here to support you in navigating life’s challenges and achieving your mental health goals.
