What is CBT Therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy has been consistently shown to be one of the most effective forms of mental health treatment. Patients also tend to find CBT engaging, as it is focused less on your past and more on setting and reaching mental health goals. CBT focuses on two distinct components of mental health and wellness:
- Cognitions – These are the negative thoughts that are present with anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions. The goal of CBT is to teach skills that help stop and reframe negative thinking and replace it with more positive, realistic thoughts.
- Behaviors – Most mental health conditions lead to unwanted behaviors, such as avoiding social situations, irritability, self-medication seeking, and other behaviors depending on the condition. CBT replaces these behaviors with more productive coping strategies and behaviors.
Cognitive behavioral therapy’s approach has been refined over time, with techniques that address all different types of concerns and challenges. CBT is able to treat:
- Anxiety Disorders
- Depression
- Addiction
- Eating Disorders
- Stress and Trauma
In addition, our therapists at Right Path Counseling have experience with many other types of modalities, which means that we can integrate other therapies into our CBT treatments if we feel like it would support your recovery.
Benefits of CBT
CBT is a popular choice for both patients and therapists. While every therapy decision needs to be based on your struggles, background, and specific needs, CBT therapy offers specific benefits that many people enjoy. These include:
- Fewer required sessions. Although many patients continue to see their therapists over time, the initial therapy with CBT requires fewer overall sessions and a shorter recovery timetable.
- Actionable. You learn specific skills in CBT, and your Long Island therapist or counselor provides a lot more guidance to help you with your recovery than some other modalities.
- Measurably goal oriented. Our therapists work with you to reach specific goals that can be measured based on how you’re feeling or what progress you’ve made.
CBT may not be right for all patients, which is why it is so important to meet with a psychotherapist first to talk about the different treatments that are available and determine what makes the most sense for your situation. But CBT is a popular, very effective, highly researched treatment that is a great choice for patients of nearly all ages.
