Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, evidence-based approach to counseling that helps people understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Often, the way we think about situations can unintentionally increase anxiety, sadness, or stress. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives that support emotional well-being.

​

In CBT, we work together to explore how certain thoughts may be influencing how you feel and how you respond to challenges in your life.  CBT is goal-oriented and helps you develop tools you can use in everyday situations. Many clients appreciate that CBT provided practical strategies and skills they can apply outside of sessions.

​

CBT has been shown to be effective for concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma-related stress, and relationship challenges. The goal is not to eliminate difficult emotions entirely, but to help you respond to them in ways that promote resilience, clarity, and emotional balance.

​

Our work together will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. CBT can be adapted to fit each client’s needs and may be integrated with other approaches depending on your goals for therapy.

 

If you have questions about whether CBT might be helpful for you, I would be happy to discuss it during a consultation.
