The short-term, goal-oriented, skills-based treatment known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is designed to help people break free from unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Connected Care Behavioral Health LLC uses CBT to treat almost all of our clients since it has the most research supporting the efficacy of any form of therapy. CBT is predicated on the notion that our thoughts and behaviors have an impact on how we feel; as a result, to change how we feel, we must also alter our thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions are organized around the learning and use of new skills, in contrast to other types of therapy, to assist clients in continuing to use these abilities after treatment has concluded. Even when the acute need for therapy has passed, we want every one of our clients to have the confidence to “be their therapists.” The client can anticipate participating in various exercises with the therapist meant to bring about changes in their lives rather than discussing difficulties in an unstructured way. Many of our patients love the active nature of this style of care. Any of the exercises listed below, either separately or in combination, may be used during a typical CBT therapy session:
