CBT is a focused, relatively short-term treatment for depression, anxiety, panic, ADHD, marital issues, panic, eating issues, and substance use. The focus of CBT is grounded in the interaction of problematic thinking styles, painful emotions, and ineffective behaviors that may impact your life. Instead of reacting to the reality of a situation, an individual may sometimes react to his or her own distorted perception of the situation.   

CBT focuses on identifying problematic and biased thinking and guides how to replace them with healthier thoughts and behaviors. One of the most significant benefits of CBT is developing healthier coping skills. This discovery process is essential for reducing emotional suffering.
