CBT is a psychological therapy for changing a patients automatic mental and emotional behaviors

There is a large variety of different types of psychotherapy available today. Some help patients change behaviors or repetitive thought patterns. One popular form of psychotherapy is Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). It is a combination of practical problem-solving talk therapy and behavioral therapy. It focuses on breaking seemingly uncontrollable interconnected, and repetitive thought patterns that can trap a patient in a cycle of negativity.

CBT has been successfully used to treat bipolar disorder, phobia, sleep problems, chronic fatigue syndrome, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression.

Most CBT treatment lengths are either 30 or 60-minute sessions. The number of sessions required for maximum benefit is a joint decision made by the patient and therapist. Typically, the number of sessions can range from 10 to 20 or more.
