FAQs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically supported approach that helps people by focusing on present challenges rather than exploring the past. Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBT emphasizes building practical skills, practicing exercises, and learning through real-world application. It is an active, collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to overcome obstacles and create meaningful change.
