What is CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a branch of psychotherapy that helps patients address struggles by learning and applying cognitive (mental) and behavioral (action) skills. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps build awareness of our automatic thoughts.

It helps to create more balanced thinking and supports the use of action-oriented goals to increase wellness. CBT is also a good way for families, including parents and children, to improve how they talk to each other and set up helpful rules.

Research indicates that CBT is a practical approach that quickly and concretely helps people make changes to their lives. It generally requires fewer sessions than other types of therapy.
