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

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is explaining the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in CBT:

  • How to identify cognitive distortions.
  • How to increase awareness of negative thoughts that have become habitual.
  • How to reframe negative thinking patterns.
  • How to challenge negative thoughts with objective evidence.

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, for example, a client tells me that instead of catastrophizing, they engaged in a healthy activity or challenged their thought as being an unproductive worry.

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

Clients can supplement their time in CBT by developing healthy sleep, nutrition and exercise habits.

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

To prepare for their first CBT session, an individual could identify their goals and values as we will see if negative thinking patterns are not align with what is most important to them or interfering with what they hope to accomplish.
