Dretha:
My go-to approach for therapy is to help someone examine his or her thoughts, feelings, and responses, as well as look at patterns of relationships in their lives. I believe this is helpful for understanding and for making positive changes.
Chelsea:
Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most studied types of therapy, and could be argued to be the original therapy treatment. What I love about it is that we have many years of proof to show that it works, for so many different issues. The focus is on the formula. Situations cause feelings, feelings cause thoughts, and thoughts cause behavior. The challenge is figuring out the best way to intervene in the process and how to create change. I enjoy it because, while the formula stays the same, the approach is always individualized.
Dretha:
The tools I help people in therapy develop include strengthening self-awareness, strengthening other awareness, deep breathing techniques, sensory techniques, journaling, and the 5-4-3-2-1 exercises for being aware of sights, sounds, thoughts, and feelings.
Chelsea:
There are so many tools that cognitive behavioral therapy teaches, and I enjoy sharing them with others. My favorites are internal dialogue questioning, trigger identification and diffusion, overcoming intrusive thoughts, internal validation improvement, and challenging unrealistic expectations.
Dretha:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in therapy when the client shares positive changes in their thoughts, feelings, and responses to their stressors and also expresses improvement themselves.
Chelsea:
I know that a client is making meaningful progress when they are able to "catch themselves." Oftentimes, we automatically have responses, whether it be thoughts, feelings, or actions, but when clients are able to recognize that they are doing it, it shows awareness. Once we have awareness, we are able to start developing change.
Dretha:
Clients can supplement their time in therapy by utilizing the strategies they are learning in therapy, reading appropriate books, and leaning on their network of support.
Chelsea:
The great thing about cognitive behavioral therapy is that once you understand what you are looking for, you start to see it everywhere. You will notice things not just in yourself, but in your life—music, movies, books—and begin to focus more on the ones that actually help you reach your goals. It's almost like involuntary weeding.
Dretha:
To prepare for your first therapy session, you can be committed to showing up and willing to be honest in the session.
Chelsea:
Preparation is simple but not easy. You need to come as your most authentic self, ready to look at you and your life through an unfiltered and honest lens, to get the best result. It does take work, but all the research has shown CBT techniques to be some of the most helpful because they do get results. You get out of it what you put into it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
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.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Rowlett, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
