Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – Fresno, California
At Fresno Family Therapy, our therapists are trained to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). According to the Beck Institute for Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT is defined as a time sensitive, structured, and present oriented psychotherapy directed toward solving current problems. Also, CBT is structured to teach client’s skills and modify dysfuntional thinking patterns.
In non psychobabble terms, CBT counseling is essentially helping you by changing your unhelpful thinking patterns leading to a more positive mood and daily living. Sometimes we have automatic thoughts that can negatively effect the way we feel. CBT is based on the theory that a persons reaction to a situation is more closely related to their perception of the situation rather than the situation itself. With CBT treatment you will notice an increase in awareness of how your thoughts effect your feelings and the decisions you make in your daily life.
