Pamela: My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is assisting clients in identifying negative thoughts and behaviors and teaching positive redirection. I find this best for changing harmful automatic beliefs and modifying behavior.
Rosemary: My go-to approach for helping people in individual therapy is to elicit from the client what his/her goal is in coming to therapy. I prefer to use cognitive behavioral therapy because thoughts lead to emotions. When we learn to reframe our thoughts, it can lead to a better emotional experience.
Pamela: I teach the following tools in cognitive behavioral therapy: identifying cognitive distortions, tracking thoughts and feelings, cognitive restructuring, behavior modification, neutralizing fears and negative thoughts, relaxation and stress reduction techniques, and mindfulness.
Rosemary: I use a variety of tools. I utilize communication tools such as assertive communication. I use trauma-informed care and teach clients about the amygdala and how it operates. I educate clients about emotional regulation and problem-solving strategies. I help clients make connections by offering insight into what they are experiencing.
Pamela: I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they begin to experience a decrease in negative thoughts and behaviors. It is wonderful to see clients feel greater contentment and elevated mood.
Rosemary: I know a client is making meaningful progress in individual therapy when they report that things have improved in life and they are closer to meeting identified goals.
Pamela: Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy by implementing the tools taught in sessions while in between appointments.
Rosemary: Clients can supplement their time in individual therapy by practicing the tools provided in sessions.
Pamela: To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual may begin to identify the thought and behavior patterns they would like to see changed.
Rosemary: To prepare for your first individual therapy session, a client can identify what it is they would like to have happen as a result of therapy. It is important to know what one wants so that one has a greater chance of achieving the goal.
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 Troy, MI is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
