Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Carlsbad
Cognitive Behavior Therapy in San Diego
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in San Diego is goal-specific psychotherapy approach that uses hands-on, practical strategies for problem solving.
The focus is to identify patterns of faulty thinking or misguided behaviors that lead to struggles in order to improve feelings about circumstances, about oneself, and the world in general.
Various life issues can be treated with this approach, including but not limited to:
- poor sleep patterns,
- challenging relationships,
- substance use,
- anxiety, and
- depression.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is able to transform attitudes and behaviors by focusing on the irrational thoughts and beliefs that lead to behaviors when facing emotional problems.
This form of therapy tends to be shorter than other therapeutic approaches. It usually takes about five to ten months for you to process most of your emotional problems.
My recommendation is that most people attend one session per week, each session lasting approximately 50 minutes.
During this time, are able to work together to identify the problems and then develop new strategies to overcome them.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy will teach you to a set of applicable principles that you can use for the rest of your life.
How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Can Help
By utilizing Cognitive Behavioral therapy, it allows me to personalize and customize your therapeutic experience to match your specific needs and personality.This approach does not focus on the events themselves that trigger your emotional problems, but rather the meanings you assign to the events. If thoughts are negative, it can block the ability to disconfirm the truth.
In other words, you will continue to hold on to the same old thoughts and fail to learn anything new.
By using Cognitive Behavioral therapy, I can teach you:
- how to manage your anger,
- decrease anxiety and panic attacks,
- deal with child and adolescent problems,
- decrease chronic fatigue or pain,
- decrease depression,
- maintain sobriety,
- fight eating problems,
- manage obsessive-compulsive behaviors,
