CBT
Definition
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based talk therapy that addresses the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is the most researched form of psychotherapy and is well-established for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and many other presentations.
Clinical Context
CBT is short-term and goal-directed in its classic form. Modern CBT integrates mindfulness, acceptance, and trauma-certified practice. Affirming CBT pairs the structure with a frame that respects the person's context and identity.
How This Shows Up in Our Work
Our practice uses CBT-informed methods where they fit, particularly for anxiety, depression, and concrete pattern-change work. The structured frame pairs with relational depth and trauma-certified pacing.
