CBT
Cognitive Behavioral
Cognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings.
Here, the therapist will assist you in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying your thinking.
The therapist will then help you modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between you and your therapist and often calls for homework assignments.
CBT has been clinically proven to help clients in a relatively short amount of time with a wide range of disorders, including depression and anxiety.
If you feel you’re ready to begin your mental health journey, the first step is to contact Foundation Counseling Center by phone at (256)-497-1790 or online to discuss the type of therapy (individual, family, or group) you are seeking.
