Licensed Professional Counselor

Our thoughts are a direct core of who we are, how we feel, how we perceive, and how we engage with the world. When we spend time approaching our behaviors and emotions from the perspective of our thought lives so much healing/congruency can be experienced.

CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way. CBT looks at the relationship between your beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and the behaviors that follow.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common type of talk therapy (psychotherapy). One works with a mental health counselor in a structured way, attending a limited number of sessions.

CBT is a type of therapeutic treatment that helps people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on behavior and emotions. Together you will focus on changing automatic negative thoughts that can contribute to and worsen emotional difficulties, depression, and anxiety. Through CBT, these thoughts are identified, challenged, and replaced with more objective, realistic thoughts.

Sonja Crisosto (she/her/they)

Traditional CBT is typically very structured. I offered more of a modified version to meet the need and pace of where someone is in their process. This model involves understanding connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors/actions.

Sam Wilson

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW, LCSW-C

While the current vogue is to combine cognitive and behavioral therapies into one school of thought, I see them as two fundamentally different techniques that work powerfully together. Cognitive therapy helps us modify our reactions by reexamining our fundamental assumptions. And behavioral modification is a way of tracking and rebuilding the activities that make up our lives.

The change principles of CBT exist throughout all approaches to counseling. The key is knowing when and how to focus on our beliefs, behaviors, and the way we treat our own feelings. Sometimes it’s most helpful to pay close attention to the bricks and mortar of our minds – through mindfulness, problem-solving, journaling, and other activities – to begin to change embedded patterns.

Luke Colbourn (he/him/his)

Professional Counselor Associate

MA, Professional Counselor Associate

CBT is a potent tool for working with depression, anxiety and trauma. Its focus on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions can offer personal insights. Clients build awareness of their 'automatic thoughts' and use this to uncover 'core beliefs'. In these ways it can pair well with mindfulness practices of the buddhist tradition. CBT also offers effective tools for changing behavior

Simone Gotter-Nagle (she/her)

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

LCSW

Throughout my education and in follow-up trainings, the foundation of CBT has been an important part of how I approach specific strategies for changing and restructuring thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to distress and unhappiness.

Elizabeth Sokolowski, PhD (She/They)

Clinical Psychologist

PhD

I use CBT to help clients understand the relationships between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. This work begins with an intake to gain clarity of symptoms, diagnosis, impairments, and treatment goals. CBT helps to create change by treating the unhelpful maintenance factors (e.g., low motivation) through alternative thoughts or behaviors. When change is unhelpful, I help clients find balance through acceptance skills (e.g., mindfulness) and processing stressors.

Katherine Chiba, LCSW

How we think about things affects our behaviors. How we behave affects how we think and what we believe.

Challenging those beliefs opens up new ways of behaving and interacting with ourselves and the world.

CBT is based on the recognition that our emotional life is intimately interconnected with our ways of perceiving, and our actions/behaviors. Bringing close attention to what we are thinking and doing sets the stage for freeing ourselves from conditioned patterns that aren't working. CBT offers a direct, 'rubber to the road' quality of actively trying out new ways seeing and doing.

Lynne Coon

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC

I've been a CBT therapist for 15 years. I believe we unintentionally create our own misery in the way we interpret the world in childhood.

I work to identify the ways you view the world that cause pain instead of happiness and help you adapt healthier thinking patterns.

Patrick Bluett (he/him)

Cognitive-behavioral therapy is considered among the most rapid in terms of results obtained. What enables CBT to be briefer is its highly instructive nature and the fact that it makes use of homework assignments. CBT is time-limited in that we help clients understand at the very beginning of the therapy process that there will be a point when the formal therapy will end.

CBT views our behavior as fundamentally influenced by our thoughts and emotions.

While we certainly cannot control everything and everyone around us, our thoughts and feelings are aspects of our lives that we can gain control over.

Korina Jochim

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

I practice third-wave CBT, which is a more modern, mindfulness-based form of CBT. In CBT we address long-standing automatic negative thoughts that stem from core beliefs we may need to re-tool. It is based on the theory that changing your thinking changes your feelings, which in turn adjusts behavior. It involves task and homework and is an excellent tool for reducing anxiety and depression.

Our thinking impacts everything! Our sense of self. How we relate to the world. What we allow, and what we believe we deserve. Much of what we've learned, and continue to repeat to ourselves, actually isn't true. We want to make our mind an ally, not an adversary. As we develop a healthier relationship with our own mind, our stress reduces, our self-esteem grows and life becomes easier.

Alisha Phillips (She/her)

Kris Cavanaugh LPC, CADCI

Cognitive Behavioral therapy is one of the best ways to address depression and anxiety symptoms. It helps look at and shift some of the thoughts that can negatively impact how you feel and act. Sometimes our perceptions and thoughts about events or people or even life become so automatic that we aren't even sure what we are responding to anymore.

Katie Playfair, LPC (she/her)

Licensed Professional Counselor

LPC (OR and Tx) LMHC (WA)

CBT is a very evidence-based approach to changing your behavior, thereby changing your thoughts. I rarely use CBT in isolation (I like to combine it with ACT) but CBT techniques are still my go-to approach for many common anxiety challenges.

sandeep kumar

Licensed Professional Counselor

CBT focuses on inner thoughts that drive behaviors. The process involves uncovering thoughts, examining what motivations might inspire them, and questioning whether they are still relevant to the current situation. CBT seeks to then change these thoughts. I diverge from CBT in that I don’t ask my clients to directly change thoughts. I encourage clients accept how thoughts might have been helpful.

James Whalen (He/Him)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the oldest and best research-supported modalities that we have, and has been adapted to a wide range of presenting issues, though it originated with depression.

CBT is a behavioral treatment that helps people see the difference between beliefs, thoughts, and feelings, and free them from unhelpful patterns of behavior. CBT is grounded in the belief that it is a person’s perception of events, rather than the events themselves, that determines how he or she will feel and act in response. CBT will help to look at ideas and practices and make adjustments to fit the client’s lifestyle.

My longstanding practice involves exploring how our thoughts, feelings, actions and behaviors effect each other every day. In our work we identify thinking errors that can harm us in our work to resolve conflicts in our relations and within self esteem challenges. I am also certified in Brene' Brown's work which involves exploring our thought processes and how they can hinder us.

Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I or CBTI) is a short, structured, and evidence-based approach to combating the frustrating symptoms of insomnia. How Does CBT-I Work? CBT-I focuses on exploring the connection between the way we think, the things we do, and how we sleep. During treatment, a trained CBT-I provider helps to identify thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are contributing to the symptoms of insomnia.

We will explore the relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and actions as well as how to build awareness of thoughts and emotions. I tend to connect traditional CBT to body-centered interventions, with the understanding that our nervous system states impact our thinking.

CBT provides many tools that I believe are helpful in making actionable changes, so I use many techniques from this therapeutic approach.

CBT is a popular evidence-based therapy that focuses on the relationship among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. In this therapy, you will learn how to evaluate and challenge thoughts that give rise to negative feelings and behaviors. You will also learn how to change problematic behaviors by gradually exposing yourself to triggering situations while practicing new coping strategies.

Learning coping tools to improve functioning, changing underlying thought patterns or perspectives we've held that don't serve us, and re-evaluating our motivations or circumstances, can help us see or understand our challenges in a different way, and respond effectively. Tools like mindfulness techniques and other reframing and CBT exercises have been shown to be hugely effective with anxiety and depression, as well as with trauma and a wide array of mental health issues.

Much of my career has been working with individuals and groups from a cognitive behavioral perspective. There is a strong connection between our thoughts and beliefs, our emotional experiences, and the choices we make. Developing an understanding of that chain and the skills to influence it makes a significant difference in your quality of life.

We all can get stuck in limiting beliefs that can be hard to break on our own. And sometimes it can be difficult to figure out what to do differently that can help produce the results we want to see. I use education, practical skill-building, and perspective shifting approaches in my work with clients. I take a practical, no-nonsense approach to therapy so you can achieve your goals in a timely manner.

CBT is one of the most common practiced and evidenced-based therapies among psychotherapies. Following my master's level training in social work I underwent another two years of supervision utilizing this treatment. This therapy is scientific and teaches skills that can be generalized across life situations. This therapy is very powerful to bring desired change in one’s life.

My graduate education was largely based in CBT. I find it a useful tool in getting started, before digging deeper. Many clients have discovered irrational beliefs that have, til now, shaped their world view. Examining these can be a huge step towards change.

Lilyan Smith-Moore, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Our thoughts and behaviors can keep us trapped in cycles that prevent us from moving forward. I use CBT approaches to help clients recognize and change these cycles. I am also trained in trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT). This is a treatment that has some similarities to EMDR, and is equally as effective.

As a class of interventions, CBT has received more empirical support than any other type of intervention - and this is precisely why our practice has a strong emphasis on CBT. We like to think of ourselves as cBt (i.e. little c, big B) in our implementation of CBT, meaning that we tend to emphasize cognitive change through experience, exposure, and skills building.

Nicole Kammerlocher (she/her/hers)

Professional Counselor Associate

Throughout my training I have focused on using CBT as a focal point for understanding how we struggle with mental health and wellness, and how we can work through these struggles. I also use many other modalities, and believe that it is my job as a therapist to be flexible and meet you where you are as far as what techniques work and which ones don't.

CBT focuses on awareness and reframing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. It can help identify obstacles that prevent positive feelings about ourselves and those around us. Awareness is often the key to change. It is also a collaborative approach that give individual the power to create the change they seek.
