What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective, research-supported forms of psychotherapy. It focuses on understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other — and teaches you strategies to create lasting change.

CBT is a collaborative, structured approach that helps you:

Identify patterns of thinking that may be fueling distress
Learn practical skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors
Strengthen your ability to manage strong emotions
Build coping strategies that work in everyday life
Unlike some therapies that focus solely on the past, CBT emphasizes what’s happening in your life now and how you can create a more balanced, fulfilling future.
