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

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is to focus on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns. I find the best benefit in using cognitive restructuring techniques because they empower individuals to understand how their thoughts influence their feelings and behaviors.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:

  • Cognitive triangle
  • Thought logs
  • Challenging negative thoughts and developing healthy alternate thought processes
  • How to recognize and address cognitive distortions
  • Socratic questioning
  • Psychoeducation on diagnosis, trauma, and other applicable topics
  • Meditation
  • Deep breathing
  • Grounding techniques
  • Additional coping skills
  • SMART goals
  • Developing healthy routines & life balance
  • Positive mindset
  • Positive affirmations
  • Gratitude

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 when they are actively challenging negative beliefs, utilizing new healthier behaviors and thought processes, completing therapeutic assignments, and reporting notable progress on treatment goals and symptom severity and frequency are also reduced.

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

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with therapeutic assignments such as mindfulness activities, thought logs, and journaling. Clients who complete their therapy homework are the most successful because homework helps reinforce skills learned during sessions.

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

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can identify core concerns to address in counseling, come up with treatment goals, and have a way to recognize when goals have been completed. Additionally, having relevant treatment history and medical history available is also beneficial. I send a link to a form that helps document medical history, medications, allergies, emergency contacts, and other relevant information before the appointment. Filling out this form helps both the client and the therapist be more prepared for the appointment.

Starting Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Orlando

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 Orlando, FL 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.

I'm very much appreciating my therapist & the Thrivewirks format. . I am having trouble sending the insurance cards: I have 2, Medicare & AARP Medicare supplement. I tried ro send photos with both cards in each frame, 1 front & 1 back, but it did not accept. I'll spend some time trying other ways, but would appreciate more flexibility. Thank you.
