Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Sugar Land
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that many mental health professionals, like psychiatrists, therapists, and counselors, use to help people with emotional and behavioral problems. It is a scientifically proven form of talk therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Instead of only addressing symptoms, CBT works to identify and change the unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress.
Through structured sessions, CBT empowers you to:
Recognize negative or distorted thinking

Replace them with healthier, more balanced perspectives
Practice new coping skills in real-life situations
