What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a research-backed therapy approach that focuses on improving negative habits in the way we think and act that translate to how we feel. It can be a very successful treatment approach for many people and is available through talk therapy. CBT can be a stand-alone treatment or a complement to another treatment approach, such as antidepressant medication.
