Become empowered through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, and more, an evidence-based practice in New York City and Miami that helps you identify and redefine negative schemas, allowing yourself to look at life from a new perspective and regain control of your thoughts.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short psychotherapy treatment method focused on modifying behaviors through skill-building, coping mechanisms, and thought challenges through talk therapy.
It is rooted in clinical research and is a widely renowned gold standard approach for a range of mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, OCD, ADD & ADHD, trauma and more.
By addressing unproductive internal working models through a process of cognitive restructuring and intervention, new schemas can be formed, considering each aspect of the CBT triangle: cognition (thoughts), behaviors (habits), and emotions (feelings.
Many patients ask about the difference between behavior therapy and cognitive behavior therapy; while behavior therapy emphasizes learned actions and reinforcement, CBT integrates both thought patterns and behaviors to create lasting change.
In considering cognitive behavioral therapy vs dialectical behavior therapy, CBT is often structured and goal-oriented, while DBT incorporates mindfulness and emotional regulation strategies for those with intense mood swings.
When comparing cognitive behavioral therapy vs psychotherapy, CBT is more structured, short-term, and skills-focused, whereas psychotherapy may be more exploratory and open-ended.
Comparatively speaking, CBT is a time-efficient therapy that usually takes place over just 30-60 minutes per week over 12-16 weeks. It can be incredibly beneficial in a short amount of time!
CBT is designed to treat various symptoms and disorders. Because of that, it is highly customizable to every patient’s individual needs and condition.
For example, CBT has proven highly effective for individuals experiencing excessive worry, and we often recommend cognitive behavioral therapy for generalized anxiety disorder as a first-line treatment.
Cognitive restructuring is a foundational aspect to CBT. By identifying and rewriting negative thought patterns, emotional distress can be lessened.
Through CBT, patients work on practical coping skills, such as emotion regulation, which they may not have formed otherwise. This allows patients to respond to everyday challenges more effectively.
CBT has consistently high success rates. It can be even more effective when paired with medication, if recommended to the patient by our psychotherapists.
Our clinicians also provide cognitive behavioral therapy for teenagers, addressing school stress, social anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges in an age-appropriate way.
