CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a type of psychotherapy that is rooted in the belief that psychological problems are partially based on negative patterns of thinking and learned patterns of behavior that no longer serve you. CBT uses problem-solving skills to challenge these thoughts and behaviors to reduce psychological distress. CBT has been known to be especially helpful in the treatment of depression, anxiety, behavioral issues and PTSD.

No, CBT is not the only type of therapy we do. However, most of our work is based on CBT because it is very effective for the type of clients we see. We also incorporate psychodynamic and solution-focused therapy. These are different types of therapies that focus on a deeper understanding of your emotions (psychodynamic) and learning from your existing skills to move towards the future that you want (solution-focused therapy). However, virtual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is our primary therapeutic modality.
