Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective, evidence-based methods for treating a wide range of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, and stress. At Just Now Therapy, I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge the negative thought patterns that can keep them stuck in cycles of distress.
CBT operates on the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply interconnected. When our thinking becomes distorted or negative, it can affect how we feel and act, often leading to issues like anxiety or depression. CBT works by helping you recognize these unhelpful thought patterns—known as cognitive distortions—and replace them with more balanced, constructive ways of thinking.
In CBT sessions, we’ll work together to identify the automatic thoughts that might be contributing to your struggles. These thoughts often go unnoticed, quietly influencing your emotions and behaviors. By bringing them into the open, we can examine their accuracy and begin to challenge and change them.
CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapy that emphasizes active participation and practice. You’ll learn practical skills that you can apply outside of our sessions, helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. Many clients appreciate CBT for its solution-focused approach, which can often lead to noticeable improvements in a relatively short amount of time.
CBT is effective for clients of all ages and has been proven to help with a variety of conditions, including major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, PTSD, and more. Whether you’re dealing with a specific issue or simply want to improve your overall mental well-being, CBT can provide the tools you need to create positive change.
Research shows that CBT is just as effective in an online setting as it is in person. At Just Now Therapy, I offer online CBT sessions, allowing you to access this powerful therapeutic method from the comfort and privacy of your home.
