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

My go to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is having one look at past and present thoughts and behaviors. I do this with a variety of tools. I like to use cognitive behavioral therapy as it provides a lot of benefit in taking a look at how one's behaviors and experiences from the past affects one's behaviors and experiences today.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I use different tools with cognitive behavioral therapy. What tools I choose to use greatly depends on the person I am working with.

  • Journaling - I use this as a tool for one to free journal. Other times we discuss a topic to journal about. The topic chosen is usually related to what was discussed in session.
  • Worksheets - sometimes a worksheet is given to complete at home as a to continue the work that you are doing in session.
  • Coping skills - Use coping skills. You already bring coping skills with you. We will discuss which ones are working and beneficial to you as well as learn new ones such as breathing.

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

I know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they start using some of the skills they have learned in therapy in their day to day lives. As well as when one can see how they are changing their own behaviors.

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

I always tell people that therapy is not just the one hour they meet with a therapist. Outside of that hour they are trying to utilize what they are learning about themselves and their behaviors. And trying to make the changes they desire.

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

At the start of any therapy, one should be open to answer a lot of questions at the intake session. This is so that I can understand what brought you into therapy, what goals you want to achieve and how we can best work together. In preparing for cognitive behavioral therapy, one should be prepared to make connections from past to present. Also, be willing to try something new: new behavior, a new task, new coping skills.

Starting Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.

What does a cognitive behavioral therapist do?

Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.

What is CBT best for?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.

How much does a CBT session cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

What is the success rate of CBT?

The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).

What is better: CBT or DBT?

The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

Is CBT conducted in person or online?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in Hoffman Estates, IL is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many sessions is CBT?

Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.
