​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps patients to understand how their thoughts and feelings influence their behaviors. For someone who is suffering from a wide range of disorders, CBT offers a comfortable treatment style. There are several approaches to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy including Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Rational Behavior Therapy, Rational Living Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, and Dialectic Behavior Therapy.

 

CBT is usually an option for patients who are looking for short-term treatments and it is sometimes more affordable than other treatment options. It has become a popular therapy for patients and for treatment professionals because it yields great results for patients with different behavioral problems.
