“You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind.”

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or “CBT,” is a short-term, problem-focused approach that helps people see the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to modify old ways of doing things. Often, our thoughts influence our emotions, which in turn affect how we respond in any given situation. Sometimes, we become trapped in a certain mindset that causes us trouble relating to others. CBT counseling sessions can help you focus on changing behavior that has gotten in the way of having fulfilling relationships with others.
CBT can help with many areas of concern, to name just a few:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Phobias and fears
- Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD)
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance dependency
- Persistent pain
- Anger
Most people who experience these types of emotional concerns tend to reap the benefits of CBT. If you think that any of the above issues may resonate with you, I encourage you to identify some goals for changing behavior that no longer serves you. With CBT, you’ll be able to adjust your thoughts that directly influence your emotions and behavior.
