CBT
Connecting Thoughts, Behaviors, and Feelings.
What Is CBT?
Cognitive behavioral therapy often referred to as CBT, is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on making connections between thoughts, behavior, and feelings. Therapists who use CBT help teens identify and change harmful thoughts and behaviors.
CBT is often used and especially effective with teens. It is effective in treating a wide range of issues including eating disorders, substance abuse, anxiety, and depression.
CBT helps teens learn how to interpret their environment differently. Compared to other therapeutic approaches, CBT can produce results very quickly. Sometimes, only a handful of sessions are needed.
