CBT is a type of therapy offered by mental health counselors that addresses how thoughts affect behaviors and emotions. The purpose of CBT is to help clients gain an understanding of their common thought patterns and to become more conscious of the effect that these thought have on their emotions and behavior. CBT often involves “homework” where clients are asked to take note of certain reactions or write down their thinking patterns. CBT is often used to treat depression and anxiety, but it is an important therapeutic approach that can be helpful of all clients.
