What is CBT and how is it used to help people that are dealing with addiction or mental health?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach to therapy that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It is based on the understanding that how we think about a situation influences how we feel and how we respond. By identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns, CBT helps individuals develop healthier emotional responses and more effective coping strategies.
CBT is structured, goal-oriented, and focused on the present. At Valiant Recovery centers, clients learn practical tools to challenge negative thinking, manage stress, regulate emotions, and change behaviors that no longer serve them. These skills are practiced both in and outside of sessions, creating lasting change.
CBT is commonly used to treat anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and substance use disorders. It empowers individuals to better understand themselves, respond more intentionally to challenges, and build resilience for long-term emotional wellness.
Lives change when we can better understand our thoughts and process this alongside of professionals that have the tools to reach in deep to guide you.
