Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Westport, CT
The way you think and respond to difficult situations can influence how you feel, the choices you make, and the patterns that develop in your everyday life. At Riverside Psychology, I provide cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Westport, Connecticut, to help clients better understand these connections and make practical changes that support their mental health. My approach combines warmth and collaboration with evidence-based strategies so that you develop skills you can use well beyond our sessions together.
How Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a focused form of psychotherapy that examines connections between your thoughts, emotions, and actions. CBT can be used for concerns like:
Depression
Trauma and PTSD
Stress and major life changes
Emotional and behavioral difficulties
Rather than simply talking about what's troubling you, CBT helps us identify patterns that may be contributing to distress and determine what you can do differently. We’ll use it to recognize unhelpful thought patterns, change behaviors that reinforce anxiety or distress, and practice new ways to approach challenging situations.
