Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a highly effective treatment for anxiety disorders, addressing both cognitive distortions and maladaptive behaviors. It functions on the tenet that feelings, ideas, and actions are related. In anxiety disorder cognitive behavioral therapy, clients work with therapists to identify and challenge irrational thoughts and beliefs contributing to their anxiety. They learn coping skills such as relaxation techniques and gradual exposure to feared situations. By restructuring thought patterns and adopting healthier behaviors, individuals gain mastery over their anxiety. CBT equips clients with lifelong skills to manage symptoms, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
