Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
The Benefits of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Louisiana
There are many different approaches to helping someone with mental health disorders. A popular one used by many board-certified counselors is cognitive behavioral therapy in Louisiana. But what exactly is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and how does ECC use it to help patients? Whether it is being used alone or in combination with other therapies, CBT creates a structured environment where the client can talk and think through the issues troubling them so that they can see practical ways to respond to their personal, challenging situations.
Structured, Goal-Setting Therapy
Your thoughts create your feelings and behaviors. This is the principle at the core of cognitive behavioral therapy. This center uses CBT to help you change your thoughts so your feelings and behaviors become more positive. When you’re experiencing problems that are more than you can handle, turn to ECC for assistance.
