What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized, evidence-based psychotherapeutic approach focused on the “here and now.” Instead of dwelling solely on the past, CBT helps you notice and examine what you are thinking, feeling, and doing, then learn skills to develop healthier patterns.
Originally developed in the 1960s and 70s, CBT enables individuals to gain a new perspective on their thoughts and emotions and apply that knowledge to life’s challenges.

The Process
How CBT Works
- Observe your automatic thoughts and emotional reactions
- Challenge unhelpful beliefs and cognitive distortions
- Experiment with new behaviors and coping strategies
- Monitor progress and refine skills for your unique life context
During your sessions, you’ll work collaboratively with your therapist to identify specific goals and practice skills that generalize outside of the therapy room.
