A structured, practical therapy approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Oak Brook

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is an approach that examines connections among thoughts, emotions, behavior, and everyday situations. Several Oak Brook Counseling & Wellness clinicians use CBT within individualized counseling plans.

What CBT focuses on

CBT may help clients notice patterns in thinking and behavior, test assumptions, practice new responses, and build skills between sessions. The approach is collaborative and should be adapted to the person's goals and context.

CBT is one tool, not a promise

CBT does not guarantee a particular result and is not automatically the right fit for every concern. A clinician may combine it with other approaches based on the client's needs.

Clinicians who use CBT

Sabrina Gosmire, Jeffery Siddall, Dr. Carla Monday, Ava Blalark, and Candida Jacoby all incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into their work.

How to choose a therapist

The same modality can look different depending on the therapist, population, and concern. Intake can help match CBT interest with age, specialty, and current fit.
