Book a Free ConsultationWhat Is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most researched forms of talk therapy, based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are all connected — and that shifting one can shift the others.
In practice, this means working with a Cognitive Behavioral therapist to identify unhelpful thought patterns (like catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thinking) and build more balanced, realistic ways of responding to difficult situations.
Sessions typically happen weekly, in 50-minute sessions — in person with a CBT therapist in our Brooklyn office, or through online CBT therapy for clients anywhere in New York.
What CBT Can Help With
CBT is especially effective for:
CBT is often short-to-medium term and skills-focused — many clients leave sessions with something concrete to practice, not just insight.
Our Approach to CBT
We use CBT alongside ACT and psychodynamic work, so you get both practical tools and a deeper understanding of where the thought patterns came from.
Expect some structure — tracking thoughts, testing assumptions, building coping strategies — balanced with the same warmth and collaboration as the rest of our work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is CBT just about 'positive thinking'?
No — CBT is about accuracy, not positivity. The goal is more balanced, realistic thoughts, not forced optimism.
Will I get homework?
Sometimes. CBT often includes between-session practice — thought records, behavioral experiments — though we adjust based on what is useful for you.
How is this different from just venting to a therapist?
CBT is more structured and goal-oriented, with specific techniques for identifying and shifting patterns, rather than open-ended processing alone.
How long does CBT typically take?
Many clients see meaningful change within 3–6 months of consistent work, though this varies by what you are addressing.
Do you offer online CBT therapy in New York?
Yes — we offer online CBT therapy for clients located anywhere in New York, in addition to in-person sessions with a CBT therapist in Brooklyn.
