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

My go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy is to educate my clients on CBT. I think it is important for individuals to understand the treatment in order to invest time in sessions and at home. I also continue to build rapport with the client and address their current needs and concerns.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following in cognitive behavior therapy:

  • Behavioral activation: Shifts away from cognitions and feelings to focus on a client's behavior and environment.
  • Cognitive distortions: Learn how irrational thoughts influence how you see the world, feel, and act.
  • Core beliefs: Core beliefs are a person's thoughts that determine how they interpret their experiences. Clients will learn core beliefs and connect them to current behaviors that affect their mental health.
  • Socratic questioning: Work through cognitive distortions by questioning feelings and thought patterns.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in CBT therapy when they can successfully navigate challenges on their own with the tools provided in individual therapy. The client starts to recognize and address barriers that keep them in the cycle of their overwhelming symptoms.

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

Clients can supplement their time in CBT therapy by building a routine of activities learned in individual therapy. I encourage clients to build a healthy support system for accountability in mental health maintenance.

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

To prepare for your first CBT therapy session, I encourage clients to write down their thoughts and concerns before their session so that all concerns can be discussed during the intake session. Do not be nervous, clinicians are here to listen and help.

Thriveworks helped me realize that I do believe people can change. I’m not the person I was three months ago, broken and fearful. I’m healthy and happy and for the first time being kind to myself. Thank you for giving me my life back.
