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

Clients can benefit from challenging negative thought distortions; by doing so it is asking the client to come up with evidence to support their thoughts.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

Common CBT tools I use are:

  • Reframing: Instead of “I hate the color red,” think “I don't like when red is used to paint a barn.”
  • Challenging negative thought distortions: For example, “I am not likable,” challenge by thinking “I realize that not everyone is going to like me.”

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

Clients are making progress when they are able to utilize the specific tools they have learned through therapy and are able to regulate their emotions more effectively.

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

I encourage clients to practice utilizing the tools that they have learned in therapy in their everyday lives.

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

Before the first session, clients can reflect on what it is they have been struggling with.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) FAQs

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 Mt Pleasant, SC 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 insurance and we offer self-pay options too.

I am very pleased with Susan Jillson as my provider. The referral to her was a great match for my needs. She quickly grasped my issues, cared enough to ask me what I wanted from her, shared her ideas about a starting approach to help that I'm excited to try, and already gave me helpful information in the first two sessions with her. She is professional, knowledgeable, relatable, and funny at times. She was prompt and the hour flew by. I like that she thinks outside the box and is open to referring me to someone else for matters beyond her expertise, while still taking an interest in those specialties. Lastly, I feel comfortable and safe with her.
