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

My general approach to addressing a client’s needs in therapy is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT provides a more traditional approach of exploring the impact of thoughts on feelings and behaviors and working to process and manage those thoughts to reduce the impact on our decision-making.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I assist clients in building the following skills to meet their treatment goals:

  • Emotional regulation techniques: To better manage physical symptoms of emotions to promote values-based action as opposed to emotional reaction. Examples include preventative strategies, physical coping skills, and grounding techniques.
  • Cognitive coping skills: To assist with managing automatic thoughts that impact our emotions and to process core beliefs that impact our perception of the world we interact with. Examples include diffusion and the use of a thought record.
  • Acceptance: Working with clients to identify what is outside of their control in the moment and working to shift focus to action on things that they can control.
  • Mindfulness: Helps a client to be better grounded in the present moment, build observation skills of clients' internal and external experiences, and move past their judgments to see things and situations as they are.
  • Communication skill: Promotes appropriate verbalization and reception of needs before they become larger issues.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know clients are making progress in therapy when they demonstrate an increased awareness of the impact of thoughts on their feelings and behaviors, are more frequently engaging in appropriate emotional and cognitive coping skills, and are working to restructure unhelpful core beliefs with the assistance of the therapist.

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

To supplement therapy, clients can practice and implement the skills learned in therapy in their day-to-day lives. It is also important to engage in preventative strategies, such as a regular sleep schedule, healthy diet, appropriate work-life balance, engagement with positive social support, and hobbies, as they can improve our overall emotional well-being throughout the day. While these are not possible all the time, the more we engage with them, the more benefits we receive from that action.

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

To prepare for their first therapy session, all an individual needs to bring with them is an attitude that is honest and open to alternative perspectives and a willingness to try the interventions suggested in the session. It also can be helpful to have a general idea of what the client’s goals for therapy may be. The client should be prepared to answer some general questions about themselves to give the therapist a clearer picture of who they are.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy / CBT in Media, PA / Delaware County, PA

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a talk therapy that explores the connections between a person’s thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and behaviors. While undergoing CBT treatment an individual will learn to identify negative thinking patterns, negative feelings, and unhelpful behaviors that are all connected.

If you’re ready to start receiving CBT therapy from Thriveworks in Media, PA, simply give us a call or book your session online to get started.

How Does CBT Help?

The goal of CBT is to help the individual to identify their negative thinking patterns and teach them to replace them with more positive thoughts. Additionally individuals identify their negative behaviors and work to replace them with more helpful ones. After CBT treatment the individual will have the skills necessary and feel empowered to deal with any obstacles they are presented with in the future.

What Does CBT Treatment Look Like?

CBT is a structured treatment model and is normally short term in nature. CBT is a collaborative approach between therapist and client and treatment generally lasts between 5-20 sessions.

It also requires a commitment outside of the therapeutic session where you will be expected to complete weekly homework assignments. During CBT treatment you work with your therapist to identify negative thinking patterns and the behaviors that can be causing you difficulties in your life. Some of the components of CBT treatment are as follows:

  1. Identifying negative thinking patterns
