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

My go-to approach for treating anxiety is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I prefer CBT because it is a well-established, evidence-based therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to anxiety. I find the best benefit in CBT because it equips individuals with practical skills to manage their anxiety symptoms both in the short term and long term. By helping individuals challenge and reframe their anxious thoughts, CBT empowers them to develop healthier coping mechanisms and responses to stressful situations. Additionally, CBT is typically a time-limited therapy, making it efficient and effective for many individuals seeking relief from anxiety.In addition to CBT, I also incorporate mindfulness techniques into my approach to anxiety therapy. Mindfulness practices such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and body scans can help individuals cultivate present-moment awareness and reduce the physiological symptoms of anxiety. By integrating mindfulness into therapy sessions, individuals can learn to ground themselves in the present moment and build resilience against anxious thoughts.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

In cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), there are several tools and techniques that are commonly taught to help individuals address their issues and improve their mental well-being. Some of the key tools I teach in CBT include:

Cognitive restructuring or reframing
Guided discovery
Exposure therapy
Journaling and thought record
Activity scheduling and behavior activation
Behavioral experiments
Relaxation skills and stress reduction techniques
Role-playing
Successive approximation

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 the client has increased awareness and insight, is able to apply the coping strategies discussed, has incorporated behavioral changes, has a reduction in symptoms, has enhanced problem-solving skills, and has improved relationships.

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

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness practices, journaling, increased physical activity, social support, and incorporating healthy lifestyle choices.

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

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) session, an individual can take several steps to ensure that they get the most out of their therapy experience:

Gain a better understanding of CBT
Identify goals
Understand potential challenges

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\\

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.

When I met with Jillian Kraydich I was in awe with her professionalism and exceptional bedside manor. Our meeting started on time and I felt comfortable right from the start. She was patient, understanding and overall a great help for me. She took the time to get to know me over the course of a few meetings and always allowed me to talk about whatever was on my mind without interruptions or judgement. I have spoken with a few other therapists in the past but they did not allow me to speak as freely as Jillian did. I would highly recommend her for the numerous reasons I stated above.
