Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

The psychotherapist helps you to apply a cognitive framework to discover and understand inaccurate, distorted thinking about a challenging situation. 

 

The psychotherapist then guides you towards restructuring your thoughts using techniques such as testing and modifying beliefs, relating to others differently, and changing behaviors. Other techniques that might apply include:

​

• Role playing.

• Calming, relaxation, or mindfulness exercises.

• Homework to develop and practice coping skills and mindset.

 

Most people with clearly defined behavioral and emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT.

CBT can help with:

​

• Depression

• Anxiety

• Sleep disorders

• General Stress

• Panic attacks

• Phobias

• Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD)

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Some chronic health management conditions

• Disordered eating

• Anger management issues
