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

My go-to approach in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is to collaboratively identify and challenge negative thought patterns, then work together to develop more realistic and helpful thinking strategies. I find benefit in this because it addresses the root causes of a person's difficulties, focusing on 'here and now' situations and empowering individuals to actively manage their thoughts and behaviors.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), key tools taught include:

  • Cognitive restructuring: identifying and challenging negative thoughts
  • Exposure therapy: gradually facing fears
  • Activity scheduling: increasing positive behaviors
  • Journaling: tracking thoughts and feelings
  • Relaxation techniques: deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation
  • Role-playing: practicing social skills
  • Behavioral experiments: testing beliefs
  • Guided discovery: exploring thought patterns through questioning

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 (CBT) when they demonstrate a noticeable decrease in the intensity or frequency of their symptoms, actively challenge negative thoughts and beliefs, develop healthier coping mechanisms, report an increased ability to manage stressful situations, and consistently apply CBT skills to real-life situations.

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

To supplement cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in their personal time, clients can engage in activities like journaling, tracking their thoughts and emotions, practicing relaxation techniques, actively using coping skills learned in therapy, identifying and managing triggers, and scheduling pleasurable activities to combat negative thinking patterns.

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

To prepare for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), individuals should identify specific goals they want to achieve, reflect on their current challenges and thought patterns, consider potential areas of focus, make a list of questions to ask their therapist, and plan self-care practices to manage potential emotional intensity during therapy.

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 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 Littleton, CO 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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Littleton, CO – CBT Therapists

Have any thoughts like these ever arisen during a particularly difficult situation? “This is so unfair.” … “I cannot do anything right.” … “I feel trapped. I have no options.” More than likely, you have thought these or something similar. Most people have struggled with these negative thought patterns at some point in their lives. They are called cognitive distortions, and these negative, untrue thoughts can turn into self-sabotaging actions.

People’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are all intertwined, and cognitive distortions and maladaptive thinking patterns can make difficult situations worse or even create problems for people. Cognitive distortions present a significant problem when they take over an individual’s thinking, but many people are working with mental health professionals to fight back. They are reaching out for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), an evidence-based psychotherapy approach that can replace these cognitive distortions with true, positive thought patterns. If you think you could benefit from cognitive behavioral therapy, reach out to Thriveworks Littleton today.

What Does CBT Do?

CBT helps people who are ready to make changes in their lives by first making a change within themselves. People cannot always change their circumstances, and they cannot change other people. But people can change the way they think. CBT shows people how they can effectively rewire their existing cognitive patterns, finding healthier ways to approach reality. During cognitive behavioral therapy at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO, therapists and clients develop a mutual, trusting relationship. They define the client’s goals. The therapist uses CBT to address a particular, well-defined challenge at a time. They often empower clients to discover how much control they exert over their own feelings, thoughts, and actions. The emotional and cognitive skills that clients learn at CBT may help individuals for years to come—even after they stop attending CBT. Working together is the formula for change.

Thriveworks in Littleton, CO has counselors and therapists on staff who specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, and have helped many clients make meaningful but challenging life adjustments. These clients did not set out to change the world; they set out to change themselves, and in the process, they are leading more fulfilling lives.

How Might Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Help?

CBT utilizes many different techniques to identify these cognitive distortions and then replace them with healthier thinking patterns. Often, clients who participate in CBT have homework each week to enhance the effectiveness of their therapy. In particular, CBT may help individuals in the following ways:

  • Teaching them to distinguish between thoughts and feelings.
  • Raising their self-awareness.
  • Discovering their own automatic feelings and how they might uniquely respond to situations without intentional effort.
  • Giving them a critical distance to evaluate their own feelings and thoughts.
  • Practicing emotional and cognitive skills that allow them to sense when cognitive distortions have invaded their thinking and that allow them to adjust their thinking before they act.

What Issues Can CBT Address?

When you think about your own life for a moment, what is happening? One of cognitive behavioral therapy’s strengths is that mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Littleton, CO can use it to treat a variety of challenges within an individual’s life. Examples include, but are not limited to:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression

  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Drug and/or alcohol addiction
