What are the benefits of cognitive behavioral therapy?
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a category of psychotherapy that is commonly used as a way for individuals to talk in therapy, this is where the mental health therapist will work directly with the patient in a more structured setting while attending sessions to help the patient become more aware of any inaccurate or negative thinking they may be doing. This is done to help change their way of thinking and challenge the patient by putting them in different scenarios or situations to make it clearer and provide easier methods to respond to the certain way of thinking that is effective.
Many of our patients go the route of cognitive-behavioral therapy by themselves; however, there is the option to do it in combination with other available therapies which can help treat mental health conditions but may include depression, eating issues, and PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress disorder. Patients will need to be diagnosed with a mental health condition to see any benefits from cognitive behavioral therapy, which can be effective for anyone who wants to learn how to manage stressful situations better.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy offers a variety of different types of therapy depending on the specialists you end up visiting, each specialist may focus on one or more of the following:
• Cognitive Processing Therapy
• Cognitive Therapy
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
• Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy
• Self-Instructional Training
• Stress Inoculation Training
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Obsessive-Compulsive
• Eating Issues
Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help with any mental health condition, some of the conditions it can help improve include:
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Phobias
• Post-traumatic stress disorder

• Obsessive-compulsive disorders
• Substance use conditions

• Sexual conditions
We have noticed in certain cases that cognitive-behavioral therapy can be combined with other therapies and treatments to provide even more effective therapy.
• Providing our patients hope with their condition
Many of our patients deal with negative thoughts and feelings when they are dealing with their mental health, as it can often cause them to feel hopeless. Cognitive-behavioral therapy changes this by providing you with hope. Through therapy, you will learn to challenge your thoughts and begin to open your mind up to new things.
• Offering the ability to improve or develop our patient’s self-esteem
Low self-esteem can create a negative cycle: negative thoughts lead to a negative mindset, which fuels negative behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help break this cycle by teaching you to identify and challenge these negative patterns. With CBT, you can develop healthier thinking habits and build stronger self-confidence.
• Relax our patients
Cognitive-behavioral therapy from a behavioral standpoint shows patients how to control and respond to their symptoms. This will help our patients to regulate their responses to any negative triggers and help reduce symptoms.
• Patients can develop a more rational thought process
Cognitive-behavioral therapy will help our patients gain more control of their thoughts, this is quite common with any condition, and cognitive-behavioral therapy will automatically help distortions and over time, will help the process of when you question yourself.
