What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

February 5, 2022/by Informed Therapy Group

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a form of talk therapy.

It is effective at treating many disorders such as:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Phobias

The idea behind CBT is this: negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a vicious cycle.

When you feel bad it causes you to react or think in certain ways that may make you feel worse. CBT creates a new perspective for you to change your behavior and break the cycle.

What to expect:

CBT sessions will be one-on-one with a therapist and you.

This may be conducted in person or virtually.

There are 6 phases of treatment:

Psychological assessment

During this phase, your therapist will get to know you and better understand your condition.

Reconceptualization

Skills acquisition

Skills consolidation and application training

Generalization and maintenence

Post-treatment assessment and follow-up

If you’re interested in CBT, contact us for a free phone consultation.
