Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most established and empirically supported psychotherapies used in modern mental health care. It is structured, collaborative, and focused on helping clients identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress.
CBT is based on the principle that how people interpret experiences—rather than the experiences themselves—determines emotional and behavioral reactions. By examining and testing interpretations, clients develop more flexible, balanced, and effective ways of responding to challenges.
