Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Autumn Counseling Services LLC

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

We use CBT with clients to help challenge negative or irrational thoughts to reduce anxiety and depression. We work together over time to identify more positive realistic beliefs or thought patterns to replace the negative beliefs. This type of therapy can also address low self esteem or negative view of self. CBT is about how emotions, thoughts, and behaviors relate to each other.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, limiting thoughts, or unhelpful behaviors, CBT offers practical tools to help you break free from these patterns. In our sessions, we’ll identify and address the thoughts and behaviors affecting you. By learning to recognize and change these patterns, you'll develop healthier ways of thinking and coping. CBT not only addresses your current issues but also equips you with lasting skills to handle future challenges.

Matthew Beeble (He/Him)

You may be seeking therapy because you are struggling with the way you are feeling or acting. These patterns are often influenced by inaccurate or negative ways you are thinking about yourself or interpreting situations with others. I use CBT to illuminate these patterns and help you change them.

Camille Keith (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

MS, LPC, NCC

I regularly use cognitive behavioral techniques to help you identify your thoughts and beliefs. As we get clearer about your thoughts, we can re-frame the beliefs that are no longer working for you. You can learn to separate your thoughts and feelings, so you feel less reactive to challenging situations.

In sex therapy, CBT is often used to address sexual problems and dysfunctions. Sometimes we get in our own way and need to change our thinking, receive education (especially where there's been none), and learn better communication skills to help our sexual relationships.

Learning coping tools to improve functioning, changing underlying thought patterns or perspectives we've held that don't serve us, and re-evaluating our motivations or circumstances, can help us see or understand our challenges in a different way, and respond effectively. Processing thought patterns and responses through a CBT lens have been shown to be hugely effective with anxiety and depression, as well as with trauma and a wide array of mental health issues.

My approach to healing is rooted in an ecosystemic, social justice framework. This means that when working with individuals, couples, or families, I am considering how each individual person’s context, culture and relationship dynamics impact their thoughts, perspectives, emotions, behaviors, and symptoms. To find healthier ways of processing, CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection and intersection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors/actions. Our thoughts and how we think about ourself, others, and situations has a huge impact on how we feel and respond.

Sam Wilson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LCSW-C

While the current vogue is to combine cognitive and behavioral therapies into one school of thought, I see them as two fundamentally different techniques that work powerfully together. Cognitive therapy helps us modify our reactions by reexamining our fundamental assumptions. And behavioral modification is a way of tracking and rebuilding the activities that make up our lives.

Blake Locher (he/him)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC, CRC

The change principles of CBT exist throughout all approaches to counseling. The key is knowing when and how to focus on our beliefs, behaviors, and the way we treat our own feelings. Sometimes it’s most helpful to pay close attention to the bricks and mortar of our minds – through mindfulness, problem-solving, journaling, and other activities – to begin to change embedded patterns.

How we think about things affects our behaviors. How we behave affects how we think and what we believe. Too often our beliefs about ourselves or other people do what they do are distorted or incomplete. Challenging those beliefs opens up new ways of behaving and interacting with ourselves and the world.

Gina Patrick

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and the more specialized approach of Exposure and Response Prevention have been shown repeatedly to be the most effective treatment interventions for anxiety and related disorders, including OCD and phobias. CBT is the process of understanding the relationship between our thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how we can use changes in thoughts and behaviors to affect change in feelings.

Bryanna Goodman

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). One works with a mental health counselor in a structured way, attending a limited number of sessions. CBT helps one become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so they can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.

Elizabeth Sokolowski, PhD (She/They)

Clinical Psychologist

I use CBT to help clients understand the relationships between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. This work begins with an intake to gain clarity of symptoms, diagnosis, impairments, and treatment goals. CBT helps to create change by treating the unhelpful maintenance factors (e.g., low motivation) through alternative thoughts or behaviors. When change is unhelpful, I help clients find balance through acceptance skills (e.g., mindfulness) and processing stressors.

Jim Seger (he/him)

Student Counselor

CMH Master’s Intern

My primary modality is restoration therapy. Restorative therapy looks at how we are responding to situations in the present in our thoughts, emotions, & actions. Then we consider where we first learned those responses and the beliefs behind them (our pain cycle). After identifying our pain cycles we develop and practice a peace cycle that brings more ease to our being in the world. I also bring to our sessions techniques from solutions based therapy, motivational interviewing and mindfulness.

I have published multiple books on the topic of mindset shifts and on personal development. I call on my deep understanding of various aspects of what is important to the change process.

Alyssa Moore (she/her)

My graduate training focused on learning and practicing CBT with individuals and groups. I believe that thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and influence one another.

Let's take a look at how your thoughts, emotions and behaviors interact and effect one another!

You’ll learn tools to practice outside of session in a practical, helpful way.

Johanna Courtleigh

Licensed Professional Counselor

MA, LPC

Our thinking impacts everything! Our sense of self. How we relate to the world. What we allow, and what we believe we deserve. Much of what we've learned, and continue to repeat to ourselves, actually isn't true. We want to make our mind an ally, not an adversary. As we develop a healthier relationship with our own mind, our stress reduces, our self-esteem grows and life becomes easier.

LCSW, LICSW, RN, CADC1

We are not our thoughts and feelings and yet we often function as if we believe we are. CBT helps create some objectivity about our thoughts and feelings, as well as increase our capacity to challenge and change them thereby improving our mood and beliefs about ourselves. I like using an integrative approach that often incorporates CBT skills.

Bethany Ingram (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

We will explore the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and actions as well as how to build awareness of thoughts and emotions. I tend to connect traditional CBT to body-centered interventions, with the understanding that our nervous system states impact our thinking.

Justice Arledge LPC Associate, MS (he/him)

CBT is a behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events, rather than the events themselves, that determines how he or she will feel and act in response. CBT will help to look at ideas and practices and make adjustments to fit the client’s lifestyle.

Diana Groener (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

Much of my career has been working with individuals and groups from a cognitive behavioral perspective. There is a strong connection between our thoughts and beliefs, our emotional experiences, and the choices we make. Developing an understanding of that chain and the skills to influence it makes a significant difference in your quality of life.

Kate Sturges, MA, LPC (she/her)

Lynne Coon

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I've been a CBT therapist for 15 years. I believe we unintentionally create our own misery in the way we interpret the world in childhood. We take those beliefs into adulthood and don't have the awareness to realize our original thinking may have been faulty. I work to identify the ways you view the world that cause pain instead of happiness and help you adapt healthier thinking patterns.

Joyce Yuan

Clinical Psychologist

PhD

CBT is a popular evidence-based therapy that focuses on the relationship among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this therapy, you will learn how to evaluate and challenge thoughts that give rise to negative feelings and behaviors. You will also learn how to change problematic behaviors by gradually exposing yourself to triggering situations while practicing new coping strategies.

I see CBT as offering a relatively simple conceptual model for understanding the way our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors all interrelate and maintain each other (for better or worse). It is also a method for starting to notice our habits of thought and behavior that we are largely unaware of. Once we develop some awareness of habitual and unhelpful ways we think, we can start to challenge these habits and develop more realistic and healthy ways of experiencing ourselves and the world.

Kellie Collins, MS, LPC

Josh Clark (he/him)

Clinical Psychologist

PhD, ABPP-CN

Thoughts, feelings and behaviors are inter-related, so altering one can help alleviate problems in another. Cognitive behavioral therapy aims to help you identify, challenge, and modify unhelpful ideas or behavioral patterns. CBT also includes relaxation training and guidance for interpersonal relationships. I use CBT to help clients suffering from phobias, anxiety, panic, or depression.

sandeep kumar

Licensed Professional Counselor

CBT focuses on inner thoughts that drive behaviors. The process involves uncovering thoughts, examining what motivations might inspire them, and questioning whether they are still relevant to the current situation. CBT seeks to then change these thoughts. I diverge from CBT in that I don’t ask my clients to directly change thoughts. I encourage clients accept how thoughts might have been helpful.

Alisha Phillips (She/her)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is considered among the most rapid in terms of results obtained. What enables CBT to be briefer is its highly instructive nature and the fact that it makes use of homework assignments. CBT is time-limited in that we help clients understand at the very beginning of the therapy process that there will be a point when the formal therapy will end.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the oldest and best research-supported modalities that we have, and has been adapted to a wide range of presenting issues, though it originated with depression. It's also the gold standard for therapy treating ADHD at present. CBT focuses on identifying the links between our thoughts, our emotions, and our behavior, as well as patterns in how those three interact that are causing harm in your life.

What behaviors in your life are not serving you? What thoughts create those behaviors? What beliefs do you have about yourself that influence those thoughts?

As a class of interventions, CBT has received more empirical support than any other type of intervention - and this is precisely why our practice has a strong emphasis on CBT.

I use theories from CBT to inform my work with clients when appropriate, but also enjoying meeting you where you are and adapting therapy to meet your needs.

CBT views our behavior as fundamentally influenced by our thoughts and emotions. CBT allows us to better understand these maladaptive or 'dysfunctional' thoughts and replace them with those that have a more positive influence over our behaviors. While we certainly cannot control everything and everyone around us, our thoughts and feelings are aspects of our lives that we can gain control over.

I use CBT from a trauma informed perspective. I prioritize safety, empowerment, and collaboration. I validate the client's experiences and reactions, emphasizing resilience and coping strategies. We work together to explore trauma-related thoughts and behaviors, without pathologizing the client. Techniques focus on building skills for managing distress and promoting self-compassion, while pacing therapy sensitively to avoid retraumatization.

Cognitive behavioral therapy was the primary treatment orientation I was trained in throughout my graduate and postgraduate training. I have completed a several specialized cognitive behavioral therapy trainings, including the Behavior Therapy Training Institute (BTTI) course sponsored by the International OCD Foundation (IOCDF), and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) Training workshop. I have also provided supervision in CBT for doctoral students.

CBT utilizes your thoughts to manage feelings and behaviors. We work together through in person sessions, thought/challenge records, and actively challenging homework to understand and change feelings and behavior. I'm committed to as much of this journey as you are to allow emotions and behaviors to change.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that focuses on the relationship between our thoughts, emotions, and actions. CBT can be a powerful tool that helps us to identify and transform potential disempowering beliefs we hold about ourselves and others that may be negatively impacting our quality of life.

Suzanne Sanchez (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

Thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are all inter-connected. In making alterations to your perspective, you will also be able to change how you feel and change habitual behavior. Through identification of core beliefs, challenging thinking errors, and use of chain analysis, I help clients make changes in their life.

My longstanding practice involves exploring how our thoughts, feelings, actions and behaviors effect each other every day. In our work we identify thinking errors that can harm us in our work to resolve conflicts in our relations and within self esteem challenges. I am also certified in Brene' Brown's work which involves exploring our thought processes and how they can hinder us.

I have extensive training in evidence-based approaches to therapy and find behavioral therapy especially useful in overcoming entrenched and harmful habits related to poor sleep, eating, etc. and use cognitive therapy to develop positive inner self-talk.

Lilyan Smith-Moore, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Our thoughts and behaviors can keep us trapped in cycles that prevent us from moving forward. I use CBT approaches to help clients recognize and change these cycles. I am also trained in trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). These are treatments that have some similarities to EMDR, and are equally as effective.

DeShawn Williams

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

CBT is one of the most common practiced and evidenced-based therapies among psychotherapies. Following my master's level training in social work I underwent another two years of supervision utilizing this treatment. This therapy is scientific and teaches skills that can be generalized across life situations. This therapy is very powerful to bring desired change in one’s life.

Gia Buckberg

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

CBT is focused on helping clients deal with a very specific problem. In my experience, I have helped clients work through issues with their anxiety, anger, depression, emotional roadblocks relating to career transitions or relationship issues.
