Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a research based psychotherapy that is widely used for treating depression, anxiety, stress, low self esteem, shyness, insomnia, social anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder and more.

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. CBT aims to explain how certain thinking patterns can lead to depression, anxiety, anger and fear and destructive and/or ineffective behaviors that can be the consequences of those states. CBT helps clients to unlearn old thinking and behavior patterns and replace them with more realistic and constructive ones.

The relationship with the therapist is collaborative and problem focused. For more information about CBT please see: www.nacbt.org/whatiscbt.htm or www.cognitivetherapy.com .
