Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is known as the gold standard of therapy. CBT earned that title after decades of peer-reviewed research; to date, CBT is the most researched therapeutic intervention.
CBT came about as a merging of two therapeutic worlds: cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. While both were goliaths in their own right, combining them produced a powerful method for therapeutic research and practice.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
Trying to pick a therapist and a therapeutic style can be a daunting task. If you’re looking for a skills-based, tried and true therapy style, CBT would be your first and possibly best route to receiving treatment.
I currently offer CBT via virtual therapy, which has a many benefits over in-person therapy. CBT can be used to treat anxiety, postpartum, and is a great option for individuals in their teens or needing help with life transitions. CBT also is the gold standard approach for eating disorders.
I chose to specialize in CBT because of it’s proven ability to positively change the lives of individuals seeking therapy. CBT does this by addressing both our thoughts and also our behaviors.
CBT is for anyone who has trouble with their thoughts or behaviors. This trouble isn’t minimized to any certain emotion or behavior, therefore CBT may be for anyone who wants help in these areas. CBT has solid tools that help an individual take control of their lives. CBT gently challenges while creating real changes that work.
