04 / About CBT

What "lists CBT" means here

Everyone in this directory lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among the clinical approaches on their BetterHelp profile. Most list other approaches too, and each profile shows their full list, so you can see how they describe their own work.

CBT is a structured, practical kind of talk therapy. Sessions often focus on noticing the thoughts and habits that keep a problem going, then trying different ways of responding, sometimes with short exercises between sessions. How each person uses it varies, and no approach can promise a particular result.

It is a directory, not a clinic: we do not rank or recommend anyone.
The therapists here see adults one to one, online.
It is not emergency care. If you are not safe, use the crisis numbers.

An everyday example of a thought record

Situation: A friend has not replied to a message since yesterday.
First thought: "They must be annoyed with me."
Check it: What else could explain it? Have they gone quiet before when they were busy?
Another reading: "They may just be busy. I can check in later."

A simple illustration of the kind of exercise CBT often uses. A therapist would work through your own examples with you.
