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

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is to teach the cognitive triangle in detail. I enjoy teaching the cognitive triangle because it can be used in a variety of situations and allows us to look for ways to reframe unhelpful thinking.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:

  • The cognitive triangle: How thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a situation can lead to positive or negative consequences
  • Relaxation techniques to provide control for feelings
  • Feelings as information about a situation, not a truth
  • How the triangle relates to thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world in general
  • The idea that just because we think something does not make the thought true

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 applying the techniques taught in sessions to every situation they are experiencing.

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

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with a study of Stoic philosophy (where CBT came from), developing their own relaxation techniques, and exploring feelings in depth.

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

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can prepare a list of questions for the counselor, develop of list of goals they might want to run by the counselor, and plan on doing three sessions with the counselor to see if they are both a good fit.

I love my Dr Odu-Onikosi. But I have had several very bad experiences with the appt makers and supervisors over the appt making ( if there are any supervisors ....as no one has ever called me back ) The mis information they provide is gross and straight up not correct. You are probably losing patients over this as if I didn't like my Dr so much this second instance would have made me stop using Thrive for my needs all together.
