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

My go-to approach for helping people in CBT is Socratic questioning. I enjoy Socratic questioning because it gives the client a chance to process any cognitive dissonance they have developed over the years. It also allows the client to be the expert in the room and collaborate in their treatment.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in CBT:

  • Relaxation techniques - provide emotional regulation for talking about tough subjects like trauma and suicidal ideation.
  • Affect and affect management - learning what feelings are (information about a situation) and ways to regulate them.
  • The cognitive triangle - relationship between thoughts-feelings-behaviors and how consequences of behaviors affect our lives.
  • The beliefs triangle - how beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world can affect how we view everything.

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 when they fire me or ask to cut down on sessions in the month.

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

Clients can supplement their time in CBT by completing the home practice assignments.

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

To prepare for their first CBT session, an individual can be prepared for having assignments to practice at home. If they are interested in the philosophy behind the treatment, they can learn about the Stoics. If they want to jump-start their learning, they can go to the Centre for Clinical Intervention website and see information about different diagnoses and how CBT treats them.

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 take most major forms of insurance, meaning many of our clients only pay a small $0-$50 co-pay. However, we have self-pay options, too. For those out-of-network, our therapy and psychiatry services are around $200, depending on the service and location.

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\'s 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 Fort Worth, 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.

Our therapists accept most major insurances. We accept 585+ insurance plans, and offer self-pay options, too.

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.
