CBT Q & A
What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that treats a variety of mental, emotional, and behavioral health conditions.
The goal of CBT is to identify negative or distorted patterns of thoughts and/or behaviors that disrupt your life. Therapy teaches you healthier ways of thinking that better support your emotional and mental health. CBT also helps you build stronger coping skills to better manage stress and challenging circumstances.
Empower You Mental Health & Wellness offers CBT sessions for adults and adolescents in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. Candice can also meet with you virtually through a confidential online platform.
Am I a candidate for CBT?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective treatment for many mental, emotional, and behavioral conditions, including:
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Eating disorders
- Substance use disorder
You can also benefit from CBT if you feel overwhelmed, stressed out, or have conflicts in your marriage or other relationships.
Candice offers comprehensive mental health evaluations to identify underlying conditions that affect your quality of life. She also spends time learning about your personal history, lifestyle, career, relationships, and interests to create your therapy plan.
What can I expect during my initial CBT appointment?
During your first CBT session at Empower You Mental Health & Wellness, Candice discusses your goals for therapy. She also asks questions about your thoughts, behaviors, and life challenges. The more open and honest you can be — the better your results.
Throughout your session, Candice guides you through discussions about your mental and emotional health. She has extensive experience helping people navigate challenging or trigger situations with empathy and compassion.
The number of CBT sessions you need depends on your goals for treatment. Candice discusses how often you should schedule appointments during your first visit. She continues to monitor your progress with CBT over time and helps you set new treatment goals as you reach therapeutic milestones.
