I have been very happy with the counseling I have received. Jason is a down to earth person. I like him on a personal and professional level. He is a good listener and understands my challenges. He has offered techniques to help me identify my anxieties before they have a chance to affect my behavior. He has introduced me to Cognitive Behavioral therapy as one of the tools I may find useful to effect change. I have made improvements in my behavior as a result of Jason's counseling.

Cognitive Behavioral therapy FAQs
What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?
CBT is a form of psychotherapy that concentrates on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to challenge negative patterns. It is known to be effective for a range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, substance abuse, and more.
What conditions are best treated with CBT?
CBT is often used to treat depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders, substance abuse disorder, and more. Your provider can talk with you to decide if CBT is the right fit for you.
How does CBT work?
CBT can help individuals recognize and change distorted thinking patterns and maladaptive behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. At Thriveworks, clients learn specific skills and techniques, such as cognitive restructuring, to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
How many CBT sessions will I need to feel better?
While the total number of CBT sessions usually varies by individual, some clients see significant improvement in their mental health symptoms after 12 to 20 sessions. To get a better idea of how many sessions you may need, you can discuss your goals, as well as the timeframe of your treatment plan with your therapist.
What happens in CBT sessions?
CBT therapists help their clients gain a better understanding of the behaviors, thought patterns, and triggers that elicit negative emotions or habits. As a result, CBT sessions often revolve around setting attainable goals, learning new coping skills, and homework assignments that may involve journaling or practicing new skills outside of the session.
Is CBT right for me?
CBT is typically considered the modern gold standard for mental health treatment, meaning that as a therapeutic approach, it’s one of the most utilized. However, at Thriveworks, you can work with your provider to determine the treatment style that works best for you. Ask your therapist for more information regarding CBT treatment, and if you’re curious, you can learn more here.
