Set Yourself Up for Success With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Palo Alto, CA
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based approach that focuses on identifying and changing negative thinking and behavioral patterns that contribute to emotional distress. At Therapy By Choice, we offer CBT to help individuals and couples in Palo Alto, California, overcome anxiety, depression, stress, and generally unhelpful thought patterns. If you find yourself stuck in cycles of self-doubt, worry, or habits you’d rather live without, CBT can provide practical tools to help you regain control.
How CBT Works
CBT is all about the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By addressing cognitive distortions—negative or irrational beliefs—you can develop healthier responses to difficult situations. CBT is effective for:
- Anxiety and Panic Disorders – Learn how to challenge anxious thoughts and reduce overwhelming worry.
- Depression – Shift negative thinking patterns to improve mood and motivation.
- Stress Management – Develop effective coping strategies for work, school, and personal life.
- Self-Esteem Issues – Identify self-defeating beliefs and build confidence.
- Addictions and Unhealthy Habits – Replace destructive behaviors with positive alternatives.
Our skilled therapists work with clients to develop healthier ways of thinking, improve coping mechanisms, and build confidence in facing life’s challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be particularly beneficial for college students studying at a demanding university or working in an intense field, as this can lead to burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome—especially when personal challenges and past traumas add to the pressure.
