CBT Therapy in Plano, TX | OCD, Anxiety, & Trauma Specialists

What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a practical and proven type of talk therapy. It’s based on a simple but powerful idea: our thoughts, feelings, and actions are all connected. By learning to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, you can positively influence your emotions and behaviors. In short, CBT gives you the tools to be the driver of your own mind, not just a passenger.

Signs CBT Therapy in Plano Could Help You

You might be a good fit for CBT if you recognize these patterns:

Your mind gets stuck on "what if" thoughts and worst-case scenarios.
You are overly critical of yourself and your actions.
You avoid social events, tasks, or situations because they feel overwhelming.
You feel sad, hopeless, or have lost interest in things you used to enjoy.
You want practical strategies, not just talk, to feel better.
