What is CBT?
Provides the Tools You Need to Thrive
CBT is a form of psychotherapy designed to illuminate the intricate connections between thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. The essence of CBT is that it allows you to:
- Understanding Your Inner Landscape: CBT delves into the intricate connections between thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, unraveling how they influence our feelings and behaviors.
- Challenging Negative Patterns: By pinpointing and challenging negative or unhelpful thought patterns, CBT empowers you to reclaim control over your emotions and actions.
- Nurturing Healthier Habits: But it doesn’t stop there. CBT also delves into behaviors, recognizing how they impact our thoughts and emotions. Through this, we cultivate healthier coping mechanisms and behaviors, paving the way for lasting change.
- Focusing on the Here and Now: Unlike traditional approaches, CBT is all about the present. It’s a pragmatic, goal-oriented journey aimed at solving specific problems and igniting tangible transformation in your life.

What does CBT treat?
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, can be a helpful tool for people who feel stuck in negative thought patterns or who struggle with overwhelming emotions. It focuses on the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and actions.

What are Behavioral Therapies?
Behavioral therapies are a toolbox for learning new habits. They’re based on the idea that most behaviors are learned, and if you learned them, you can learn something new. These therapies help you identify patterns in your behavior and the situations that trigger them. Then, you work with a therapist to develop new skills and responses that are more helpful.
There are many different techniques used in behavioral therapy, but some common goals include:
- Reducing unhealthy behaviors (like procrastination or avoidance)
- Building helpful skills (like communication or relaxation techniques)
- Increasing positive behaviors (like spending time with loved ones or saying no to unhealthy choices)
Viva clinicians are trained to offer behavioral therapies such as CBT, DBT, and ACT.
