About Cognitive Behavioral Services
At Onward Counseling, I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a highly effective and well-researched approach for challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress. CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected while teaching practical skills to manage negative thinking patterns, cope with stress, and change unhelpful behaviors. In sessions, I work with you to identify the patterns holding you back and create strategies you can apply both in and out of therapy. This process empowers you to build resilience, improve your mood, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
