Questions?

What Is a CBT Session Like?
Many people wonder, “What is a CBT session like?” During CBT therapy sessions, our therapists guide you through structured exercises—such as identifying thought distortions, completing behavior experiments, or keeping a thought diary. These tools help you gain awareness of unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways to respond. Each session is goal-oriented and tailored to your specific needs, offering both structure and flexibility.

Therapist Guidance and Skill Building
CBT is not passive; it’s highly collaborative. Our therapists work with you to set goals, track progress, and develop skills you can apply between sessions. From coping with panic attacks to managing chronic stress, CBT focuses on building real-world strategies that encourage long-term change.
