How is CBT different from other therapies?

CBT is structured, goal-oriented and present-focused. Unlike purely introspective approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy gives you practical tools to modify thoughts and behaviors that sustain distress, with measurable results session by session.

How many sessions do I need to see results with CBT?

Most people notice changes starting in the first 4 to 6 sessions. Brief focused processes last between 8 and 12 sessions; more complex problems may require 16 to 20. In the first session we define a clear plan with you, with estimated timeframes.

Does online CBT work as well as in-person?

Yes. Scientific evidence shows that online CBT by video call has the same effectiveness as in-person therapy for treating anxiety, depression and most emotional conditions. You only need a stable connection and a private place where you can speak peacefully.

What problems does cognitive behavioral therapy treat?

CBT is the psychological approach with the most scientific backing for anxiety, depression, phobias, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), insomnia, self-esteem, stress management and grief processes. It also works as a personal development tool.

What does a typical CBT session look like?

Sessions last 50 minutes by video call (Zoom or Google Meet). We start by reviewing progress since the last session, work on a specific goal with structured techniques (cognitive restructuring, exposure, behavioral activation, among others) and close with an exercise to apply in your day-to-day life.

Are your psychologists certified in CBT?

Yes. The entire PsicoasesoresMx team is made up of licensed psychologists with current professional credentials and specific training in cognitive behavioral therapy. You can see their background and specialization in the team section.

What is cognitive behavioral therapy?

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is a structured, goal-oriented psychological approach built on a simple idea: the way we think directly influences how we feel and what we do. When that cycle gets stuck, anxiety, depression, blocks or patterns that repeat over and over begin to appear.

Unlike purely introspective approaches, CBT works in the present. We identify with you which automatic thoughts, beliefs or behaviors are sustaining the distress and apply scientifically backed techniques to modify them: cognitive restructuring, gradual exposure, behavioral activation, mindfulness, skills training and problem solving.

It is the psychological approach with the most clinical evidence accumulated. Organizations like the WHO, the UK's NICE and the US APA recommend it as a first-line treatment for anxiety and depression. At PsicoasesoresMx we combine it with solution-focused therapy so each session gives you practical tools you can apply right away.
