Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaving. CBT may involve various treatments including psycho-education, assertiveness training, relaxation techniques, anxiety management, cognitive restructuring, behavior modification, and systematic desensitization and other exposure techniques. CBT is primarily skills-based treatment in which the therapist and client work together to identify problematic thinking and behavior patterns and empower clients with effective skills to change these patterns. Clinical research clearly indicates that CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety problems, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.
