Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented form of talk therapy based on a simple idea: our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected, and changing unhelpful thought patterns can improve how we feel and act.
A typical CBT process starts with identifying specific problems and goals, then works on recognizing automatic negative thoughts, examining how accurate or helpful they really are, and building more balanced ways of thinking. Practical, between-session exercises are often part of the process, which is part of why CBT tends to produce durable, lasting skills rather than temporary relief.
CBT is supported by a large body of research and is commonly recommended for depression, anxiety disorders, OCD, insomnia, and many other conditions, either on its own or alongside medication, depending on individual assessment.
