What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, often called CBT, is one of the most widely used forms of psychotherapy. It focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. When negative thought patterns become automatic, they can influence how you feel and how you respond to everyday situations.

CBT teaches you how to identify those patterns, question whether they are accurate, and replace them with healthier, more realistic ways of thinking. As your thinking changes, your emotions and behaviors often begin to change as well. Unlike some forms of therapy that spend years exploring the past, CBT focuses on practical solutions you can apply in your daily life.

What Mental Health Conditions Can CBT Help Treat?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is effective for many mental health conditions and is often used as part of a personalized treatment plan.

What Happens During a CBT Session?

Your first CBT session focuses on getting to know you. Your therapist will ask about your symptoms, personal history, goals, and the challenges you’re currently facing. As therapy continues, you will work together to identify negative thought patterns, recognize emotional triggers, practice healthier ways of thinking, build practical coping skills, set realistic goals, and track your progress over time. CBT is a collaborative approach, meaning you and your therapist work together to develop strategies that fit your life and support lasting emotional well-being.
