This series provides an introduction to Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). It features CBT counseling sessions that demonstrate this approach’s key features, as well as commentary on each session by CBT practitioner Stuart Rose.

(Cleveland Clinic) Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented type of talk therapy. It can help manage mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, and emotional concerns, such as coping with grief or stress. CBT can also help manage nonpsychological health conditions, such as insomnia and chronic pain.

(National Library of Medicine) This activity reviews the efficacy of CBT in both psychiatric and non-psychiatric disorders and the role of the interprofessional team in using it to improve patient outcomes.

(American Psychological Association) CT entails modifying the pessimistic evaluations and memories of trauma, with the goal of interrupting disturbing behavioral and/or thought patterns that have been interfering in daily life.

(American Institute for Cognitive Therapy) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an empirically supported treatment developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Originally, DBT was created to help people who were suicidal and struggling with self-harm urges.

(Cleveland Clinic) Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely. It’s a common therapy for people with borderline personality disorder, but therapists provide it for other mental health conditions as well.

(Cleveland Clinic) Exposure therapy is a type of therapy in which you’re gradually exposed to the things, situations and activities you fear. There are a few different approaches to this therapy. It can help treat several conditions, like phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and panic disorder.

(American Psychological Association) Prolonged exposure teaches individuals to gradually approach their trauma-related memories, feelings and situations. They presumably learn that trauma-related memories and cues are not dangerous and do not need to be avoided.

(The Albert Ellis Institute) REBT is the pioneering form of cognitive behavior therapy developed by Dr. Albert Ellis in 1955. REBT is an action-oriented approach to managing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral disturbances.

(American Addiction Centers) Clinicians began using rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) in the 1950s, and it has since influenced other life-changing therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). REBT holds the potential to enhance substance abuse treatment alongside other therapies and modalities.

(American Psychological Association) Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.

(American Institute for Cognitive Therapy) Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a relatively short-term, focused psychotherapy for a wide range of psychological problems including depression, anxiety, anger, marital conflict, loneliness, panic, fears, eating disorders, substance abuse, alcohol abuse and dependence and personality problems. The focus of this therapy is on how you are thinking, behaving, and communicating today rather than on your early childhood experiences.

(American Psychological Association) Exposure therapy is a psychological treatment that was developed to help people confront their fears... In this form of therapy, psychologists create a safe environment in which to “expose” individuals to the things they fear and avoid. The exposure to the feared objects, activities or situations in a safe environment helps reduce fear and decrease avoidance.

(Anxiety & Depression Association of America) ADAA Member Taylor Wilmer, PhD shares an introduction on exposure therapy as a treatment option for your mental health journey and discusses what exposure therapy's goals and core principals are, when it is generally used to treat, and what to expect if seeking treatment.
