Brittney Juanita:
My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is assisting them with identifying irrational thinking patterns and core beliefs through the use of a thought log. I prefer this approach because it promotes reflection and insightful discussion.
Enid:
My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is to emphasize the identification and restructuring of negative inner dialogue, thought patterns, and behaviors. This approach allows individuals to gain insight into the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying and challenging cognitive distortions, clients can develop more effective ways of thinking and responding to their experiences, leading to tangible improvements in mood and functioning. In addition, I find that integrating behavioral interventions, such as exposure therapy or activity scheduling, complements the cognitive restructuring process and provides practical strategies for individuals to actively engage and make positive behavioral changes. This approach enables clients to not only understand the impact of their thoughts on their emotions and behaviors but also empowers them to implement tangible changes in their daily lives. Ultimately, my goal is to equip individuals with the skills and insights needed to effectively manage their challenges and improve their overall well-being.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
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.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Chesapeake, VA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
