Overview

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based psychological treatment that helps people make meaningful and lasting changes in their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It combines principles of Cognitive Therapy and Behavior Therapy to target the underlying causes of psychological problems. CBT works by challenging and reframing problematic thoughts and beliefs, as well as providing strategies for managing unhelpful or maladaptive behaviors. It is used to treat a wide range of conditions, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, and addiction, and it has been found to be effective in improving quality of life, reducing symptoms, and increasing functioning in individuals and families.
