Hello Sir,
I have answered a similar question before re: Humanistic Psychology. It is not the goals of the modality that matter in the final analysis. In therapy, your goals matter. You need to research different modalities and decide which one you are comfortable with and choose a licensed psychologist in your area that practices that modality. During the first evaluation session, you can inform the provider what your goals are and keep therapy goal oriented. So you can grow and fly.

Hi,
This is a question that many people ask. The basic goal is to change the way you think about an issue so that there can be less stress and tension involving that problem. That of course is the short answer.

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!

Hello.
The three main goals are: challenge your pre conceived thoughts, change your behaviors, and complete your treatment timely.
Please find a psychologist that can help you through your issues.
Be well

Three Goals: 1) Transform 'Negative' thoughts by challenging the 'magical' assumptions. 2) Transform 'Self-defeating' behavior patterns with new behaviors that counter old assumptions and 3) Provide you with a 'Toolbox' of mental 'tools' to challenge you and learn to 'cope' with or without the use of medication in order to transform the manner you look at your world through your unique set of "glasses".
The goal of CBT is help the individual address both cognitive and behavioral inconsistencies. It is a collaborate attempt to recognize our belief and behavior. I don't think I would say there are just three goals to CBT. I would say the goal or goals of CBT should be defined between the counselor and individual seeking help.
