Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based talk therapy that helps people learn how their thoughts and feelings influence their behavior. A therapist who is trained in CBT helps the client identify the patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behavior that lead to cycles of distress and then teaches how to change them.

Challenging negative thoughts helps a client develop the confidence needed to try changing their behavior. A CBT therapist can also teach a client new coping skills such as how to relax, how to recognize and manage anxiety, or how to take action when feeling overwhelmed.
