Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely used therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative or harmful thought patterns and behaviors. By emphasizing the link between thoughts, emotions, and actions, CBT helps individuals challenge distorted cognitions and develop more balanced and constructive ways of thinking. Through techniques such as exposure therapy, cognitive restructuring, and skill development, clients learn to cope with and manage their mental health issues more effectively, leading to improved emotional regulation and problem-solving skills. CBT is highly effective for treating a range of disorders, including depression, anxiety, and phobias.
