About CBT

CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and is a common therapeutic modality. CBT is effective for depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, and a variety of other mental health conditions (American Psychological Association APA, 2017).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on how your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings impact each other. CBT treatment typically involves efforts to change unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. (APA, 2017)
