Online CBT Treatment

Have you heard about CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy? This type of mental health treatment is popular for good reason - for many people, it works. Virtual CBT is a great way to get the cognitive behavioral therapy you need on your own time. Let's take a look at what online CBT treatment can look like for you.

​

When you sign up for internet based CBT, you'll want to be sure you're working with a trained therapist. CBT consists of two different pieces: the cognitive aspect, and the behavioral aspect. The cognitive side of the therapy deals with your thoughts, and how your thoughts occur. While thoughts may seem automatic, they are actually a product of past experiences blended with our current environment. Your internet based CBT therapist will work with you to help you understand why your thoughts occur. A large part of the virtual CBT process is understanding how you can begin to gain control over your thoughts.

​

The second part of online CBT treatment is behavioral. You'll work with your therapist to change certain behaviors while you're also working to change your thoughts. For many people, CBT is effective because it gives them actionable items that they can change immediately. CBT is not the same as therapy where you just sit down and talk - this type of therapy involves an ever-changing action plan to keep you moving toward your mental health goals.
