At Summit Counseling Center, our skilled therapists guide you through practical tools to overcome challenges and build resilience.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

CBT is a goal-oriented, structured form of therapy that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By learning to recognize and reframe distorted thinking, you can change emotional responses and develop healthier coping strategies.

CBT is effective for a wide range of concerns, including:

What to Expect in CBT Sessions

In your CBT sessions, your therapist will help you:

  • Identify negative or distorted thinking patterns
  • Develop skills to challenge and replace unhealthy thoughts
