Hi,
Thank you for your question. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term and highly effective treatment for many common issues, including depression and anxiety. CBT explores and helps to resolve negative automatic thoughts and underlying core beliefs about the self, other people, and the world using structured activities and specific interventions. CBT also involves behavioral activation and development of new coping skills.
I hope this has been helpful!

It’s simply using behavior therapy techniques as the working components to modify or even change behaviors in a family unit. Sometimes, it’s better to work one on one with a client while other times it’s important to use the family structure and dynamics to help a client and other times still, it can help the entire family.
