My go-to approach for helping people in CBT therapy is encouraging focus on the physical symptoms of our emotions/stressors, as it is a good starting point for identifying things we have control over to make practical changes. When we can calm our physical responses, it is easier to reframe our thinking and make healthy decisions about behavior change.
I encourage the use of body-based calming strategies (i.e. relaxing muscle tension, deep breathing, understanding how different emotions feel in our body). I also incorporate a compassionate view of our decisions and responses to emotional triggers as a tool for reframing our thoughts. I encourage people to understand that all emotions are “value-neutral” and it is our actions or treatment of ourselves or others that can be either helpful or hurtful.
I know a person is making meaningful progress in CBT therapy when they begin reframing their thoughts on their own, they report more productive responses to triggers that would have previously caused dysfunction, and they are more aware of the physical signs of their emotional processes.
Clients can supplement CBT therapy by practicing skills/tools in between sessions as part of their daily routine and practicing “talking back” against their inner critic with kindness and compassion.
To prepare for CBT therapy, a person can remind themselves they have the power to make healthy changes and research the idea of neuroplasticity and the role that plays in “rewiring” their brain (over time) for healthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors.
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 Richmond, 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.
