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

My go-to approaches for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy are psychoeducation and cognitive restructuring. I find the best benefit in education because it provides clients the tools to learn more about themselves and the power they have to change.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:

  • CBT cognitive triangle
  • Thought replacing
  • 3 C’s
  • Thought-challenging
  • ABC model
  • Mindfulness

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they are able to identify cognitive distortions and change the narrative of their situations. In addition, I enjoy hearing clients use CBT terms and definitions when talking about situations and experiences.

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

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with journaling and identifying triggers and responses on a daily basis. Clients can also benefit from completing homework in between sessions.

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

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can identify and set goals for therapy, prepare questions for the therapist/counselor, be honest to themselves, and identify situations that are perceived to be triggers.

Starting Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.

What does a cognitive behavioral therapist do?

Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.

What is CBT best for?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.

How much does a CBT session cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

What is the success rate of CBT?

The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).

What is better: CBT or DBT?

The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

Is CBT conducted in person or online?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Cedar Park, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many sessions is CBT?

Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.

Ashley Collins is incredible. I recommend her to everyone. Her knowledge of how the human brain works regarding anxiety is brilliant. I've been seeing her monthly for almost 3 years and want to continue for the rest of my life. She's taught me how to recognize my anxiety and work inside it to manage, cope, and lesson the occurrence. I'm genuinely so happy and grateful to have found her.

I really enjoy my therapist. She's really informative and she listens to everything I need to talk about. I think I need to be open more to my own self or pass problems, but anything that I've asked to talk about. She's always tried to find ways to find a solution or, find a way to help me let go of the things that trouble me. By the way, her name is Danyel.
