Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured psychological treatment approach which focuses on how an individual’s cognitions, behaviors, feelings, and physiological responses are connected and how they influence daily functioning. Cognitive behavioral therapy sessions focus on specific symptoms, problems or goals. Homework assignments are often given to enable the clients to work on their problems in between sessions and facilitate maximum functioning. CBT has been researched and proven as an effective treatment for many disorders and problems. In fact, for several disorders CBT has been shown to work as well as medication.
