Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured, evidence-based approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. By bringing awareness to these patterns, CBT helps clarify how distress is maintained and where meaningful change is possible.
Working collaboratively with a therapist, clients learn to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, experiment with new behaviors, and develop more balanced perspectives and effective coping strategies. Sessions are active and focused, often involving between-session practice so that skills can be applied in daily life.
CBT is goal-oriented and typically short-term, with a strong track record of success in treating anxiety, depression, and a range of other emotional and behavioral difficulties. The emphasis is on building skills that clients can continue to use independently, supporting lasting change beyond the therapy room.
