About CBT Cognitive Behavioral TherapyLearn More

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disruptive thought patterns that negatively affect behavior and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing the automatic negative thoughts that can lead to and worsen emotional problems, depression, and anxiety. These negative thoughts by themselves have a destructive effect on the mood. Through CBT, these thoughts are identified, challenged, and replaced with more objective and realistic thoughts.
