Starting Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Grand Rapids Charter Township

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 Grand Rapids Charter Township, MI 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.

Counseling with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Grand Rapids, MI—Therapists

CBT often empower people to choose, response, and change. Many people want to make a positive change in their lives but do not know what their next steps might be. CBT often provides those next steps. CBT often involves people…

  • Learning just how much control they have to focus their thoughts, feelings, and actions on positive outcomes.
  • Working within a mutual relationship with a therapist. The therapist may be an expert on identifying negative thought patterns, but clients are experts on themselves.
  • Addressing a specific challenging they are facing in a way that is goal-oriented and practical.
  • Learning emotional and cognitive skills that they will use after CBT has ended.

Thriveworks Grand Rapids offers cognitive behavior therapy, and our counselors have walked with clients as they make hard but good changes within their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Reach out today to schedule your own cognitive behavioral therapy session and get help.

The Problem of Cognitive Distortions

People’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are all intertwined, and so, a negative, untruth thought pattern can escalate and pose significant challenges within an individual’s life. Cognitive distortions are untrue and negative perspectives upon reality that can fuel negative emotions and poor choices. Cognitive behavior therapy, therefore, seeks to counteract these cognitive distortions, and the first step is often acknowledging and identifying them.

How Could CBT Help?

The goal of cognitive behavior therapy is to replace these distortions with more accurate and positive thoughts about reality. One way that a counselor may help clients accomplish that end is through an exercised call the three-column technique. On a piece of paper, people draw three columns.

In the far-left column, they will record a situation and how they are thinking about it. For example, they may have been awake all night because of their insomnia, and they may think that they will not be able to sleep tonight either. In the middle column, people can name the cognitive distortion that is affecting their thinking. In this case, it is an overgeneralization—the inability to sleep one night does not mean an inability to sleep the next night. In the third column, people will write a true, positive thought response such as, “I will keep working at my sleep routine and doing what I can to help my body rest.”
