cognitive-behavioral therapy
Mind-pattern modification approach
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a form of psychotherapy that treats mental health conditions by identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors.
Often abbreviated CBT, it focuses on practical techniques rather than exploring past experiences: Her therapist uses cognitive-behavioral therapy to address her anxiety.
The approach assumes that how we think affects how we feel and act, so modifying distorted thinking can improve emotional well-being.
