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

Amanda: My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is helping clients understand themselves in order to gain self-awareness. I find the most benefit in doing this, as it assists people in making sense of how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected.

Iriny: I use cognitive behavioral therapy to help people be more aware of their thoughts and beliefs affect their actions and feelings. I find it is very beneficial in increasing self awareness and changing unhealthy patterns.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

Amanda: I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:

  • Education on CBT - teaching clients about thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and how they are connected to each other, and teaching cognitive distortions, types of thinking patterns that relate to overwhelm and distress
  • Psychoeducation on mental health symptoms - educating clients on their symptoms so they can understand and learn explanations for feeling and thinking a certain way
  • Understanding of “cognitive distortions” - defining types of negative thinking patterns
  • Journaling - self-reflecting on thoughts, emotions, symptoms, behaviors, and triggers
  • Cognitive restructuring - questioning, re-framing, refocusing, and shifting the perspective of specific thoughts
  • Goal-setting strategies - identifying goals important and specific to the client, showing the client how to develop more realistic goals in smaller steps that are achievable to help build motivation over time

Iriny: A few of the tools we can use in cognitive behavioral therapy include relaxed breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, playing the script until the end, and journaling. Each tool has its own benefits and can be used by itself or in conjunction with another technique.

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

Amanda: I know a client is making meaningful progress when they are able to notice when a negative thought comes up and are able to take another perspective on their own, or when someone is able to see their growth through the practice of different CBT strategies.

Iriny: I know a client is making progress using cognitive behavioral therapy when the problem a client initially came for is affecting them at a much lesser level. The client will feel they have adequate resources to cope and respond differently to stressors.

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

Amanda: Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy through the use of journaling, CBT strategies practiced outside of sessions, self-monitoring their symptoms, and engaging in a fun activity or hobby to help promote a sense of well-being.

Iriny: I always encourage clients to pay attention to their eating, sleeping, exercising, and social habits. Making even small changes can have a meaningful impact.

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

Amanda: To prepare for their first CBT therapy sessions, an individual can consider their goals for engaging in therapy, what they hope will change by participating in therapy, and the patterns and history of their concerns or symptoms.

Iriny: Clients can prepare for cognitive behavioral therapy by developing and sharing goals with the therapist after discussing what the therapy process and structure look like.

What Techniques Are Used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Success in cognitive behavioral therapy relies on an equal relationship between client and therapist. The client first delves into what kind of problems they are experiencing as well as what their goals for cognitive behavioral therapy are. These are discussed again and again during each session, as the client and therapist work together to tackle the issues at hand and develop healthier thinking patterns that will help the individual solve or improve said issues.

Often, the client will put in a little bit of work outside of cognitive behavioral therapy in the form of homework. This homework might be to journal between sessions; the client and his or her therapist will then review their journal entries to gauge progress and apply what is learned in therapy to real life.

Pamela really helped me through some difficult issues; she helped me to understand the people in my life and how to interact with them and understand why they are how to understand them. With that knowledge, I am better able to interact. It is very helpful to have someone I can share everything with. And Pamela is that person for me.

My husband and I sought counseling due to several significant issues in our marriage. We were distraught and on the verge of divorce. Jeannie's approach to marriage counseling led us through a process that changed my perspective on my husband's actual needs and his to my needs. We didn't hear what the other was truly saying! I would highly recommend Jeannie to work with any couple from minor issues to major issues in their marriage.
