CBT
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
Instead of staying stuck in patterns like:
-
“I’m not doing enough”
-
“Something is going to go wrong”
-
“I should have handled that better”
CBT helps you:
-
Recognize these thoughts in real time
-
Challenge whether they’re accurate or helpful
-
Replace them with more balanced, realistic thinking
-
Take action in ways that align with your values
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on helping you feel better now, not just understand the past.
​

-

Racing thoughts and constant worry
