Clarifying Thoughts. Changing Patterns. Growing Strength.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
At Groundbreaker Therapy, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented approach that has been proven effective for a wide range of mental health concerns.
In our sessions, we identify unhelpful thinking patterns, explore how they influence emotions and behaviors, and build skills to create lasting change. The goal is not just to reduce distress but to help you develop tools that empower you to respond more effectively in your daily life.
Who Benefits From This Approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be a good fit if you:
- Experience anxiety, depression, or recurring negative thoughts
- Notice patterns of thinking that hold you back, such as “I always fail” or “I’m not good enough”
- Want therapy that feels practical, structured, and focused on solutions
- Prefer learning strategies and applying them between sessions
- Are you ready to take an active role in your own growth
If you are in a period of crisis or need additional support before diving into structured work, we can discuss the best starting point for your needs.
How I Use CBT In Sessions
In therapy, we work together to identify patterns, challenge them, and create healthier ways of thinking and responding.
- Assessment and Clarification – We begin by identifying your challenges and understanding how they show up in your daily life.
- Mapping Thoughts, Feelings, and Behaviors – Together, we examine how certain thoughts trigger emotional and behavioral responses.
- Building New Skills – You’ll learn practical tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts, shift perspectives, and try new behaviors that support your goals.
- Practice And Reflection – Between sessions, you’ll apply what you learn and bring insights back to therapy.
- Integration and Growth – As you gain confidence, we strengthen your new skills so they become natural and sustainable.
What You Can Expect In Sessions
CBT is collaborative, structured, and focused on progress. You are an active participant, not a passive listener.
You can expect to:
- Learn how your thoughts and behaviors influence how you feel
- Develop strategies for handling difficult emotions and challenges
- Practice new skills both in and outside of sessions
- Notice gradual shifts in your mindset and reactions
- Build confidence in managing stress and uncertainty
Why This Approach Matters
CBT helps you see how your thinking patterns shape your experiences and gives you tools to change them. It focuses on what is happening in your life right now and helps you move forward with clarity and intention.
At Groundbreaker Therapy, I believe that you do not have to wait for everything to be perfect to start making progress. With the right tools and guidance, you can begin to think differently, feel better, and live more intentionally.
Is This Approach Right For You?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy may be right for you if you:
- Want to make practical, measurable changes in your life
- Prefer structure and clear direction in therapy
- Are motivated to practice strategies between sessions
- Want a balance between self-reflection and skill-building
If your concerns are rooted in deeper trauma or long-term emotional patterns, we can discuss combining CBT with other approaches that provide additional depth and support.
