Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most extensively researched and widely used therapeutic approaches for treating a range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and phobias. CBT operates on the premise that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected. By recognizing and challenging unhelpful thought patterns, you can learn to modify the emotions and behaviors that accompany them. In CBT, you will work with your therapist to break down overwhelming problems into smaller, manageable parts and develop coping strategies to reduce emotional distress and improve functioning.
