COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) FOR depression

Depression Can Feel Heavy — But Healing Is Possible

​

Depression doesn’t just affect your mood. It can impact your thoughts, energy, motivation, relationships, and even your physical health. Whether you're feeling stuck, numb, hopeless, or constantly fatigued, depression can make daily life feel like a struggle.

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective, evidence-based treatments for depression. It helps you recognize how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact — and gives you the tools to shift negative patterns so you can begin to feel more hopeful, empowered, and emotionally balanced.

​

What Does CBT for Depression Involve?

 

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented form of therapy designed to help you develop practical skills for managing your mood. In our work together, we’ll focus on:

​

  • Identifying negative thought patterns that contribute to sadness, self-doubt, and hopelessness

  • Challenging unhelpful core beliefs and reframing them in a more balanced, compassionate way

  • Building daily routines and behaviors that support emotional well-being

  • Developing problem-solving strategies to navigate life’s stressors

  • Learning tools to regulate emotions and reduce rumination

​​

Common Issues Treated with CBT for Depression:

​

  • Major Depressive Disorder

  • Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia)

  • Situational or adjustment-related depression

  • Depression related to life transitions, grief, or chronic stress

  • Low self-esteem and self-critical thinking

  • Difficulty with motivation, sleep, or concentration

​​

Why Choose CBT?

​

CBT is:

  • Short-term and goal-oriented

  • Proven effective through decades of clinical research

  • Focused on skill-building and long-term change

  • Adaptable for both in-person and online therapy
