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

My go-to approach for helping people in CBT is learning to recognize thought distortions. This benefits people who are experiencing anxiety, an eating disorder, or ADHD.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in CBT

  • Thought-stopping
  • Positive self statements
  • Cognitive reframing

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

I know the client is making meaningful progress when they can identify a thought distortion instead of acting on it.

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

Clients can supplement CBT with group therapy. Focusing on physical health and nutrition can also assist in the progress of CBT therapy.

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

To prepare for their first session an individual can simply come as they are!
