What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of talk therapy that focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. The core idea behind CBT is that thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected—changing negative thought patterns can lead to improvements in emotional well-being and behavior.

CBT is highly effective for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and more. It is a goal-oriented therapy that often includes practical exercises designed to challenge negative thinking and develop healthier coping strategies.
