Licensed Master Social Worker - Clinical (LMSW-Clinical)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Curtis: CBT is an effective approach for individuals who cannot seem to change a behavior despite the desire or need to do so. Thoughts/feelings, whether conscious or not, guide so much of what we do. Assisting clients in bringing cognition(s) to light while connecting them to the targeted behavior change is rewarding and at times seems magical for the client. The discovery that change is possible and you have more power than you believe is one of the most beneficial parts of therapy.
Megan: My go-to approach for CBT is to educate clients on cognitive distortions and begin working on CBT thought-challenging and reframing.
Carri: My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is what I call dialing back. We reflect on the area of distress to see if we can find the source; then we find strategies to lessen the impact of the painful situation.
Curtis: I teach the following in CBT:
Megan: I teach the following tools using CBT:
Carri: I teach mindfulness and reflection during cognitive behavioral therapy. I help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Curtis: I know that meaningful progress has been made when the client is able to identify thoughts/feelings and recognize the impact of these thoughts/feelings on the desired change.
Megan: I know a client is making meaningful progress during CBT when their symptoms have decreased and they are able to challenge or reframe unhelpful or negative thoughts.
Carri: I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when I hear them reflect on a stressful situation with a feeling of confidence that they were able to manage the situation without falling apart.
Curtis: Clients can practice reading, journaling, moving situations through the thought cycle, and personal reflections.
Megan: Clients can supplement their time in CBT therapy with journaling, keeping a thought/mood log, de-catastrophizing exercises, reaching out to informal supports, and utilizing other coping skills learned in therapy. There are also CBT and relaxation apps that can be used for exercises.
Carri: Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy with thought journaling. Pausing to notice your feelings is a necessary part of healing.
Curtis: Be open. There is no such thing as a wrong feeling; you will not be judged. The more that is shared, the more the therapist can work with you to create an effective treatment plan. Watch for negative thoughts. Oftentimes, people will feel embarrassed, question their worth, or fear what is to come. Feeling these emotions can lead a person to not be active in their care for their mental health. When you enter therapy, you are joining a team—a team where the therapist's only goal is to help the client achieve theirs. We work with you—you are the core to success and we are here to be your partner in the change journey.
Megan: To prepare for your first CBT therapy session, clients can begin to journal their daily moods. This will help with determining current behaviors and thought patterns. This will also help with creating a treatment plan.
Carri: To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can look for patterns, such as, whenever ____ happens, I feel ____.
At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.
Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).
The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in West Bloomfield, MI is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
