This approach helps with building self worth, improving confidence, and navigating life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through structured techniques and practical exercises. It is often used for stress, anxiety, and managing reactions to difficult situations.
