What Is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for mental health issues. It reduces distress and improves daily functioning. CBT works for school-aged children and young people, and with adjustments, it can also help kids as young as four.
CBT teaches individuals to change how they:
Think
Act
Feel
How Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Helps You
This therapy helps children and teens understand their thoughts and feelings, enabling them to manage challenging situations effectively. By learning to recognize the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, you gain practical tools to handle stress, peer pressure, academic challenges, and family conflicts. CBT encourages you to face fears instead of avoiding them (for anxiety) or become more active (for depression), building confidence through gradual exposure and positive action.
Adults also benefit from these same skills, using CBT techniques to navigate workplace stress, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Your CBT therapist in Vancouver available throughout BC will guide you through structured exercises and homework assignments that reinforce new skills between sessions, helping you create lasting change in how you respond to life's challenges.
CBT can be done individually or in groups.
What Our CBT Therapists in Vancouver and BC Treat
CBT is effective for several issues, including:
Anxiety and Depression: Cognitive behavioural therapy is particularly effective for mild to moderate anxiety and depression, often working as well as medication. Children, teens, and adults who receive CBT are less likely to experience relapse compared to other treatments.
Trauma-Related Disorders: Trauma-Focused CBT is specifically designed to help you process traumatic experiences safely, reducing symptoms of PTSD and helping you regain a sense of control. (A version called Trauma-Focused CBT works well for children dealing with trauma.)
Chronic Pain: CBT helps you manage the emotional impact of chronic pain, teaching you strategies to reduce pain-related distress and improve your quality of life.
Eating Disorders: Through cognitive behavioural therapy, you'll address unhealthy thoughts about food, body image, and self-worth while developing healthier eating patterns.
Low Self-Esteem and Anger Issues: CBT helps you challenge negative self-beliefs and develop emotional regulation skills to respond more calmly to frustrating situations.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): You'll learn exposure and response prevention techniques to reduce compulsive behaviours and manage intrusive thoughts.
Substance Use: CBT addresses the thoughts and triggers that contribute to substance use, helping you develop coping strategies for cravings and high-risk situations.
Duration of CBT
Around 12-20 sessions depending on severity.
