Common approaches to Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

View Alanys Chavez's profile

What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is an eclectic approach in order to individualize care for what my client needs. I find the best benefit in using a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered, and mindfulness because the combination of these three therapies incorporates thoughts, emotions, and bodily awareness. I believe addressing therapeutic issues holistically can be quite effective and address a multitude of clients' needs.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy:

  • Awareness: Without awareness, we can't change. How are your thoughts, emotions, and/or body cues influencing you and affecting your choices/behaviors?
  • Identifying cognitive distortions: What unhealthy repetitive thought patterns are happening subconsciously?
  • Reframing: How we can reframe these negative thought patterns to empower you as the client?
  • Curiosity with empowerment: How has previous trauma or events impacted the way you show up presently in life, work, relationships, etc.? How would you rather show up?
  • Deep breathing: Breathing exercises to slow down an overworked nervous system and create more self-awareness and safety within your body.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they are able to start identifying previous patterns of thinking and have enough awareness to recognize the pattern and replace it with a healthier frame or pattern. This then helps them start to make decisions that align with their genuine selves. I love when clients are able to celebrate their hard work and say, “Guess what? I caught myself catastrophizing!” or “I was able to catch my inner critic and show myself compassion instead!”

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with journaling, logging their thoughts and reflecting on any patterns, mindful walks or other enjoyable forms of exercise, deep breathing practices at home, engaging in enjoyable hobbies, and social support, along with healthy social media use.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for your first cognitive behavioral therapy session, you can reflect on what goals you want to work on in therapy, what obstacles have gotten in your way, and what you might need from a therapist. Remember that therapy is about you, so it is important that you find a therapist you connect with and feel empowered and comfortable enough to be vulnerable with.

Starting Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

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.

What does a cognitive behavioral therapist do?

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.

What is CBT best for?

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.

How much does a CBT session cost?

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.

What is the success rate of CBT?

The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).

What is better: CBT or DBT?

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.

Is CBT conducted in person or online?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Colorado Springs, CO is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many sessions is CBT?

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.

Our clinician "deleted" our 2 pm appointment at 7:15 pm the night prior with no explanation and we were not notified. So we arrived and after waiting 15 minutes with no one acknowledging us at the office, we called and were informed our appointment has been deleted. This is entirely unacceptable. We would be penalized if we did this to the clinician, and instead we're still penalized with our waste of time and gas.

Jerry was amazing! Jerry uses choice theory in order to help his patients grow and work through their problems. Choice theory was helpful through my relationship counseling but also could be used individually to helps each person grow themselves. Jerry used real scenarios in order to water down the theory, making it less scientific and more geared toward individual use. Jerry was patient, helpful, and very understanding.
