Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically proven and widely used form of psychotherapy focused on exploring and changing thoughts and behaviors that maintain psychological issues. The core principle of CBT is that it’s not the events themselves, but rather how you think about them, that influences your feelings and behavior.

How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work?
CBT helps you become aware of negative or unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Together with a therapist, you learn to identify, examine, and, when necessary, change these thoughts. You’ll also receive practical tools to cope differently with challenging situations and to try out new, helpful behaviors.
- Identifying Thoughts: You learn to notice which automatic thoughts arise in certain situations.
- Challenging and Changing: You and your therapist examine whether these thoughts are accurate and practice with more helpful alternatives.
- Behavioral Change: By gradually trying out new behaviors, you experience how you can influence your mood and self-confidence.
Who Is CBT For?
CBT is effective for a wide range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, excessive worrying, compulsions, traumatic experiences, burnout, stress, and low self-esteem. It is suitable for teens, adults, and older adults. CBT can be provided individually or in group settings.
What to Expect from CBT
Throughout the process, you work together with an experienced therapist. The treatment is practical, goal-oriented, and usually short-term. You gain insight into your own thoughts and behaviors and learn skills that you can apply immediately in daily life. Between sessions, you practice with assignments, allowing you to make gradual changes step by step.
Why Choose CBT?
CBT is recognized worldwide as an effective treatment method. Scientific research has shown that CBT helps reduce symptoms and prevent relapse. You not only learn to address your issues, but also develop greater control, resilience, and confidence in yourself.
