Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a classic talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of negative thinking in order to better handle challenging situations. In addition to helping those with mental health disorders (such as anxiety or depression), CBT is also helpful for anyone who is looking to learn how to manage stressful situations. Therapists that use CBT often have a structured program, which involves a set number of sessions. CBT is frequently paired with other treatments, such as medication, when necessary.

— Kate St. Onge, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Burlington, CTNot your mom’s CBT - we’ve come a long way! Instead of “correcting”thoughts (cognition) and simply changing behaviors, I work with clients on uncovering deep beliefs (thoughts) that may not be rooted in their own truth - but perhaps come from shitty family narratives (stories), societal expectations, misogyny, homophobia, racism, on and on. If it doesn’t fit with your values, out it goes. How can we start living (behaving) in ways that match these core values? That is the true work of therapy.
