Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a well-established and evidence-based therapeutic approach that has been proven effective for treating various mood and anxiety disorders. Additionally, CBT can help individuals enhance performance in high-pressure environments and improve various aspects of their lives.
CBT helps clients recognize and identify negative thoughts, beliefs and patterns that contribute to their difficulties. It then teaches clients new ways of thinking, behaving and coping. Through CBT, clients learn to challenge automatic thoughts and beliefs, assess their validity and replace them with more positive and constructive ones. This process empowers clients to develop healthier thought patterns and behaviors, leading to better overall well-being.
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, practical and goal-oriented form of therapy. It equips clients with specific skills and techniques that they can use in their daily lives. Focusing on the present, CBT aims to help clients achieve meaningful change as quickly as possible. The therapy involves identifying negative thoughts, beliefs and patterns that contribute to difficulties and teaching clients new ways of thinking, behaving and coping. Through this process, clients learn to challenge their automatic thoughts, assess their accuracy and replace them with more positive and constructive thoughts.
Seeking support is an effective skill.
