What is CBT?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns that can lead to distress and unhealthy behaviors. By changing these cognitive distortions, a person can improve their emotional well-being and develop healthier coping strategies. CBT is commonly used to treat a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress disorders. Sessions are typically collaborative, with the therapist and client working together to set achievable goals and monitor progress. The practical techniques learned during therapy empower individuals to manage their symptoms and foster a more positive mindset in their daily lives.
