What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

My go-to approach when using cognitive behavioral therapy is educating the client on the purpose of this model. I find that it helps clients in the process when they understand the purpose of treatment.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

When using cognitive behavioral therapy, I teach clients common cognitive distortions, cognitive challenging and restructuring, relaxation techniques, and journaling.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know a client is making progress when they are unable to identify their irrational thinking and replace them with rational thoughts.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy by journaling and reviewing therapy notes.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for the first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can write down what behaviors and beliefs they would like to change and identify personal goals for treatment.
