About Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps people identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors. It is widely used for anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other mental health concerns.

CBT often focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Sessions may include practical skill-building, problem-solving strategies, and exercises that help people recognize unhelpful patterns and develop healthier responses.
