Cognitive and behavioral therapy

In therapy we work on breaking problems into smaller units:

  • situations

  • thoughts

  • emotions

  • physical feelings

  • actions

 A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) therapist helps clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors. They work collaboratively to develop coping strategies and practical skills, guiding clients in replacing unrealistic thoughts with more balanced ones. Through structured sessions, therapist assists in breaking the cycle of negative thinking, ultimately empowering clients to overcome their challenges and improve their mental well-being.

Areas of intervention

Counseling: career changes, decision making

Interpersonal problems: anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorders, phobia, body image disorders, marital conflicts, fatigue and depression related to diseases such as cancer 

Parental coaching

Why to choose CBT?

  • Pragmatic Approach: CBT is highly practical, as it encourages the client to identify specific, tangible problems and actively work towards solving them.

  • Highly Structured Process: While the client shares their life experiences freely, the therapy sessions are structured to relate this discussion to a specific problem. Together with the therapist, the client sets clear, achievable goals.

  • Focus on Current Issues: CBT emphasizes addressing present-day challenges rather than delving into unresolved issues from the past. The focus is on reshaping thought patterns and behaviors to better manage conflicts in the "here and now."

  • Collaborative Effort: CBT fosters a partnership between the client and the therapist. Solutions are co-created through exploration and understanding, rather than being prescribed as advice or rigid guidelines.
