Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a time-limited and structured treatment effective for numerous health and mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, substance use/addiction, eating disorders, and interpersonal problems. It focuses on the link between thinking, emotion, and behavior. That is, problems are based in part on unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving. When people learn more skillful ways of coping, they experience relief and go on to live more fulfilling lives.
