Sometimes, you know a thought isn't helpful, but that doesn't stop your brain from returning to it. Maybe anxiety has you anticipating everything that could go wrong, or perfectionism convinces you that anything less than exceptional isn't good enough. I can help! I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for clients in St. Petersburg, throughout Florida, and in all PSYPACT states. Together, we will look at the connections between your thoughts and feelings and find ways to change the patterns that no longer serve you.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
CBT is an evidence-based form of therapy based on the idea that the ways we think, feel, and behave influence one another. CBT isn't about telling yourself to "think positive." Rather, we’ll investigate the beliefs and assumptions operating in the background and develop more flexible ways to approach difficult situations.
What Is CBT Used to Treat?
CBT therapy is useful when unhelpful thought and behavioral patterns are keeping you caught in the same cycle. I may use CBT for:
Anxiety
ADHD
Perfectionism
Depression
Overlapping symptoms
There is also Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), a specialized, evidence-based treatment designed to address trauma-related difficulties. I have advanced training in TF-CBT among other evidence-based methods. I always consider the whole picture when it comes to treatment, so I'll work with you to determine the approach that makes sense for your particular needs!
