This approach suits people who need space to talk things through and clarify goals. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out different actions to change feelings and results. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and workplace or career-related stress.He also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and grounding techniques for intense feelings. These skills are practical and can be practiced between sessions.
