CBT is a time-limited, present-focused, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy. Treatment is transparent and collaborative, and promotes independence by teaching concrete skills and problem solving. Clients are active throughout the treatment and often take on weekly practice assignments, which tends to speed their progress.

Individual psychotherapy is an excellent way to achieve your goals. It is the treatment format that is used in the majority of cognitive behavioral therapy studies. For most, a course of treatment lasts between 20-25 sessions. Typically, individual cognitive behavioral therapy is weekly with sessions lasting 45-minutes.
