What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-focused approach that helps you identify and change detrimental thinking patterns and behavior.
CBT is based on the proven premise that our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all intertwined and affect one another. By reshaping negative thought patterns, you can influence your emotions and behaviors in a positive way.
CBT breaks down overwhelming problems into smaller, manageable ones, making it easier to work through challenges and achieve a genuine change in the way you function.
When is CBT helpful?
CBT is an evidence-based therapy technique that can effectively address a wide range of mental health issues, including:

If you are facing any of these challenges, CBT can help you develop the tools needed to manage your thoughts and emotions in a more effective and healthy manner.

CBT gives you tools to take control of your mental well-being by teaching you practical strategies to manage negative thoughts and behaviors. Thanks to CBT counseling, you will:

What does a CBT session look like?
A typical CBT session involves working closely with your therapist to identify detrimental thoughts and behaviors. Together, we will explore how these patterns are affecting your emotions and actions and what to do to change them.
Reviewing situations that trigger distress and identifying related thought patterns
Practicing new coping strategies and problem-solving techniques
Challenging and re-framing negative beliefs
When working in CBT, we meet for weekly sessions. You may be able to see noticeable improvements within just 6–12 sessions.
However, keep in mind that the timeline can vary depending on your individual goals and needs. What’s also important is that with each session, you'll gain practical tools that you can apply in your daily life, gradually contributing to long-lasting change and growth.
