What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is providing tools and practicing in session. I prefer, enjoy, and find the best benefit in practicing routinely so there is more likelihood of sustainable progress.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I teach the following tools in individual therapy for depression:

  • Identifying, understanding, and accepting emotions.
  • Educating on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors
  • Challenging negative thoughts and creating alternate thoughts
  • Creating more intentionality into one’s life (e.g. scheduling, planning, communication, reflection)
  • Mindfulness practices – creating more awareness and intentionality
  • Self-compassion/acceptance – ways to compliment oneself and appreciate the differences that we all have.
  • Identifying opportunities to engage in more self-compassion/self-care practices
  • Identifying current coping strategies; finding new coping strategies

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress with CBT when they are able to utilize tools that they have learned in therapy in their day-to-day life and feel an associated relief since the onset of treatment.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

Clients can supplement their time with CBT with a journaling, meditation, exercise, socialization, reading, and other mindfulness practices.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for your first individual therapy session, I encourage you to: 1) identify the items you want to focus on and 2) have an answer to: “I will know therapy has benefitted me when _____.” (What’s your goal of coming to therapy?)

CBT Counseling at Thriveworks in The Woodlands, TX

Thriveworks in The Woodlands is here to help you re-learn the power of thoughts and take back the control. Our counselors are trained in a therapeutic strategy called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a process of identifying the destructive thoughts, acknowledge them as lies, and, finally, replace them with positive, realistic thoughts.

For more information, or to schedule an appointment today, give us a call at 281-667-9790.

What Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Address?

In CBT, cognitive distortions are primarily addressed. CBT puts the control back in your hands and enables you to mold your thoughts and emotions.

Cognitive distortions come in many variations, but a few include:

  • Should Statements- “I should do…” Should means you don’t authentically believe in what you are doing and are being influenced by outside factors. It whispers the lie that the only way to succeed is by being unauthentic at best, and miserable at worst.
  • Catastrophizing- When you take things out of proportion (i.e., believing you’ll lose your house just because you were late to work).
  • All-or-Nothing Thinking- Also known as black and white thinking, this is the cognitive distortion that makes you think that one mess up means you must completely start over.
  • Emotional Reasoning- This is when you believe that how you feel is who you are. For example, “I feel dumb, so I am dumb.” Your feelings are valid; your thoughts can lack truth. Feeling some way does not mean you are a certain way.
  • Mind Reading- This is when you think you know what someone is thinking or feeling based off assumptions. Just because someone doesn’t text you back right away doesn’t mean they hate you!

It might feel overwhelming, but with a therapeutic strategy like CBT and a supportive counselor, you can dismantle the lies in your life and rebuild your future.

How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work?

CBT in a Thriveworks The Woodlands session will be client-centered. This means every session will vary depending on where you are at and how you want to grow!

The basics of CBT that will be found in most CBT-focused sessions are simple.

  • Identify the negative thought
  • Uncover the root lie of that thought
  • Challenge the lie with a rational truth
  • Replace the lie with a positive, true thought.
  • Repeat until you start to believe the positive, true thought over the lie!

It’s okay if this process sounds intimidating. Our The Woodlands counselors are trained in CBT and will be with you every step of the way.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Used For?

Cognitive distortions will always be destructive on some level. However, they can become extra dangerous when they develop in conjunction with a mental illness. Because of this, CBT is highly effective in treating mental illnesses such as:

  • Anxiety
  • PTSD
  • OCD
  • Insomnia
  • Impulsive behaviors
  • Addictions
  • Self-harm
  • Relationship issues

No one is perfect; we all struggle with these cognitive distortions on some level. If you feel like your thoughts and/or emotions are spiraling out of control, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be helpful.
