Cognitive behavioral therapy might be a good fit if:
- You’re willing to actively participate in therapy and apply strategies outside of sessions.
- You want a structured, goal-oriented approach to tackling your problems.
- You prefer practical tools to manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors rather than a deep exploration of past experiences (though previous events may still be addressed).
- You struggle with negative thought patterns, like catastrophizing, black-and-white thinking, or excessive self-criticism.
- You like the idea of learning skills that can be applied long after therapy ends.
- You’re open to keeping track of your thoughts, feelings, and actions through exercises like journaling or worksheets.
