CBT therapy

CBT therapy

CBT primarily focuses on the difficulties a person is currently facing. In therapy, we work together to explore what triggers and sustains these difficulties, and look for ways to change thought and behavior patterns that cause distress or interfere with daily life. CBT is an active and collaborative approach—during therapy, practical skills are learned that can also be used outside of sessions.

CBT is often a relatively short-term approach focused on achieving specific problems and therapeutic goals. For specific difficulties, therapy may last approximately 8–20 sessions, whereas in cases of more complex or long-standing problems, the therapeutic process may take longer. The duration of therapy is discussed together by evaluating the difficulties, needs, and set goals.

CBT is effective for various emotional difficulties, including the reduction of anxiety, panic, depression, prolonged stress, and low self-esteem.
