Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most popular and effective forms of therapy for people suffering from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and more. At Journey Counseling Center, many of our therapists specialize in CBT, which has been proven to create more significant results in shorter periods of time compared to many other forms of talk therapy.

​

When you work with one of our Edmond CBT therapists, we help you develop functional skills, solve current problems, and effectively set goals in ways that are relevant and fit into your life. We help you understand the way how you think affects your behaviors, and how those behaviors can change your beliefs.

​

If you've started CBT with another therapist, or you've heard of CBT therapy and have been looking for a place to start, we have multiple CBT therapists in Edmond who can help. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, we can help you create lasting change in your life by challenging the way you think and transforming your behaviors in the world in ways that work for you.

How does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy work?

With CBT, you'll learn how your thoughts and behaviors affect your everyday life. By working with a therapist, you'll learn how to:

• Identify the relationships between your thoughts and behaviors

• Challenge negative thoughts

• Experiment with different behaviors in response to those thoughts

• Take what you learn in therapy out into the real world

​

What is CBT therapy like?

In general, you might use CBT for 15 to 20 sessions with a therapist. In those sessions, you'll learn how to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and destructive behaviors, especially recurring ones. Working with your therapist, you'll learn how to develop healthy responses and behaviors instead.

​

After many sessions, you'll have "homework," or things that you'll want to test during the week outside of your therapy sessions. By experimenting with different behaviors in the real world, you can effectively break patterns and productively discover new things about yourself that help you live a more fulfilling life.
