Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT focuses on breaking cycles between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This structured approach helps clients identify triggers for anxiety, addiction, or unhealthy patterns and develop practical coping strategies. Suitable for those preferring evidence-based, goal-oriented mental health treatment with measurable outcomes.
