Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) FAQs

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 Texas, TX 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.

The lights are on but nobody’s home. - Clint Black Came to see the office location and complete my questionnaire. New style, empty lobby. Could leave a sign-in list. I’ll see James Farley on Monday afternoon I guess. Craig

After 7 months of individual and couples counseling, it just seemed like I was destined to have to accept the status quo, and not feel like real progress would be made.. As a senior citizen that's been around the block a few times, I was dubious about how counseling would help in our communication concerns. Approximately 2 weeks ago, to the extreme credit of my counselor, Dr Kennedy, he hit the mark on helping me get through my barriers and I was almost immediately gratified at the outcome. Patience is too much of a "cliche". It took many hours of listening, agreement and disagreement, and trial and error homework sessions to come up with a solution that in my view was right on target. The real purpose of this review is two fold... First, I absolutely credit Dr Kennedy with a never give up attitude and continually trying different things to reach a positive outcome. He was always a good listener and I felt he had a personal interest in helping me achieve success. He always emphasized to first "learn the process", and then "put it into practice". Second, I believe it is wise to think of counseling opportunities as a journey that may not reach its goals in an a few visits. Rather, continue to work hard over tiime at suggections for improvement, don't give up, and hopefully the hard work will lead to success.
