Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a tool that can help people find new ways to behave by changing their thought patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help people reduce stress, cope with complicated relationships, deal with grief, and face many other common life challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a problem-specific, goal-oriented approach that needs the individual’s active involvement to succeed. It focuses on their present-day challenges, thoughts, and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also time-limited, meaning the person knows when a course will end, and they have some idea what to expect.
