It is well suited for people who want to explore personal values, build confidence, and regain a sense of agency in relationships and life decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured, collaborative approach that helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship difficulties. By learning practical skills and experiments to test new ways of thinking, clients can see measurable changes in mood and functioning.
