Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Definition, Benefits, and Techniques

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a talk therapy used to treat mental health conditions and substance use disorders. CBT allows people to adjust unhealthy thought patterns, make better decisions, and live healthier lives. Due to how widely it is practiced and the numerous studies that have proven its effectiveness, CBT has been labeled the “gold standard” of psychotherapy.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

CBT was invented in the 1960s by psychiatrist Aaron Beck. Through his psychiatry work, Beck realized that what we think (cognition), how we feel (emotion), and our behavior are all closely connected. These three factors have a decisive influence on our physical and mental well-being.

CBT is one of the most widely-used forms of psychotherapy and can treat various conditions. It is particularly effective in treating mental health disorders with a clinically significant disturbance in cognition, emotion, and behavior.

CBT utilizes cognitive restructuring to identify an individual’s negative thought patterns and challenge and change them. In doing so, patients learn to modify their behavior and make healthier life decisions.

What Does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Treat?

Due to its ability to adapt to any scenario, CBT treats a broad spectrum of behavioral and mental illnesses. A 2013 meta-analysis of over 100 evidence-based CBT studies found that the strongest support exists for CBT treatment of the following conditions:


  • Substance addiction
  • Depression
  • Schizophrenia
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Personality disorders such as narcissistic personality disorder
  • Eating disorders
  • Behavioral addictions such as gambling addiction
  • Sleep issues
  • Phobias
  • Sexual and relationship problems

How Does CBT Work?

CBT looks at the triggering scenarios in a person’s life and identifies the thought patterns, feelings, and behavior resulting from them. By attempting to modify these thought patterns, CBT aims to change a person’s self-destructive behavior and help them to make healthier choices.

CBT emphasizes three aspects of cognition that influence the way that a person feels and behaves:

Automatic Thoughts:

A person’s immediate interpretations of events are called automatic thoughts. Dysfunctional automatic thoughts are distorted, exaggerated, or unrealistic, leading to psychological issues and unhealthy decision-making.

An example of automatic thoughts in action is when someone feels that another person has ignored them. The person who was ignored may question internally why the other person does not like them. These thoughts can lead to negative feelings about oneself. The individual may start to feel upset, and their behavior may be modified the next time they see the person that ignored them.

CBT aims to change a person’s automatic thoughts to more positive ones. In the example above, if the automatic thoughts were that the other person was just too busy or did not see them, this would significantly change the impact of this incident. The individual would not start to think negatively about themselves, and their future behavior would not be modified.

Cognitive Distortions:

Mental health conditions, especially schizophrenia and other delusional disorders, often involve deficits in logical reasoning. When someone lacks logic, they can come to incorrect conclusions about their situation. Examples of cognitive distortions that are common in individuals with mental health concerns include:









Underlying Beliefs:

As time passes, we develop belief systems or schemas which determine how we perceive or interpret events. These are our core judgments, thoughts, and feelings on the essential aspects of our lives. CBT identifies two levels of underlying beliefs:

Core Beliefs:

Core beliefs are central ideas around oneself and the world. These are the most fundamental beliefs that a person holds. Negative core beliefs about oneself fall into four categories:


  • Inferiority
  • Vulnerability
  • Unlovability
  • Worthlessness

If someone begins to think negatively about themselves, it can affect their overall quality of life. If they feel unloved or inferior, they may sabotage themselves by making unhealthy decisions because they do not believe they deserve happiness or success.

CBT aims to address these negative core beliefs and, in doing so, can treat and potentially even prevent medical conditions from developing. Cognitive theory identifies that negative core beliefs about the self can create dysfunctional attitudes that can lead to depression.

Intermediate Beliefs:

A person’s assumptions, rules, and attitudes are intermediate beliefs and heavily influence behavior. For example, someone who feels unloved may believe that the only way to be liked is to please others. They may do things for others that could be potentially dangerous or illegal.

Examples of Different Types of CBT

Cognitive Behavioral therapy is an umbrella term for many therapies stemming from the link between cognition, emotion, and behavior. Examples of types of CBT include:

What To Expect From CBT Sessions

CBT sessions are usually for individuals, but CBT principles can also be incorporated into family or group sessions. Led by a licensed CBT health professional, the sessions are tailored to the individual needs and goals of the patient but generally follow a similar structure:

The First CBT Session

During the first session, the Cognitive Behavioral Therapist will spend time getting to know the client. They will ask questions to understand their thinking and behavioral patterns. The client will identify personal goals concerning their life and the outcome of CBT treatment. These goals can include stopping a particular behavior, such as drug abuse, or lessening the symptoms of their mental health condition.

The CBT Treatment Plan

Once the therapist understands the patient better, they will identify a suitable treatment plan. The American Psychological Association (APA) recognizes that sessions tend to use a combination of CBT techniques, examples of which include:

Methods To Change Thinking Patterns

Methods To Change Behavior Patterns

At the End of Each CBT Session

At the end of each therapy session, the CBT therapist will summarize the issues that have been addressed. They will also allocate homework, which has been identified as one of the critical factors in securing a better long-term outcome from CBT treatment. An example of a commonly assigned homework is to keep a “thought log.” Clients log their automatic thoughts and gain a greater understanding of them. Clients are encouraged to feel empowered to continue the CBT practices they have learned outside their sessions.

What Are the Benefits of CBT?

All therapeutic approaches are different, and not one therapy works for everyone. CBT has some particular benefits, though, as follows:







Are There Any Drawbacks to CBT?

Some of the potential disadvantages of CBT include the following:






Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a well-used and adaptable form of therapy that has proven effective in many studies. It is also a personal journey that requires an open relationship between the therapist and the client. Finding the right therapist for you is essential, and rehab.com can help you to discover qualified CBT practitioners in your area.

The benefits to patients of CBT treatment are well recognized. Changing your thoughts, feelings, and behavior can positively impact your life and those around you.

    When it came to the realization I needed help to overcome my addiction, I ended up choosing to go to Sobermans. I couldn’t have been more grateful for this choice and the experience. I can’t say enough about the accommodations, setting, and food. However those things mean nothing without the proper staff. The best thing about Sobermans is their people. The care I received from each and every member of staff there was overwhelming. I’ve since returned for some aftercare and Alumni events, and upon my return, it feels like home. I would highly recommend Sobermans for any man that needs help with addiction or getting your mind cleared. I promise, if you put in the effort that their staff does, you will leave different person!

    This place quite literally saved my life. I struggled for many years with substance abuse. I tried for several years to get clean on my own but was never successful. I have nothing but great things to say about the Plymouth House if you are serious about wanting to heal yourself. Detox and Rehab are never an easy decision. You know that you want to better yourself but the process is never an easy one. The staff and clinicians at PH are very understanding non judgemental. Some have been in the trenches at times which makes the care and help they offer much easier. The food is great and they are truly genuine across the board not to mention you couldn’t ask for a more tranquil environment to heal yourself.

    A Life Forever Changed ~ Thank You There are moments in life when words fall short, but I’ll try. The Rise at Malibu didn’t just support me they saved me. In one of the darkest chapters of my life, they extended a hand that pulled me back into the light. Their compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment were more than professional they were profoundly human. I owe my life to the care, patience, and strength they showed me. Every step of the way, they treated me not as a case, but as a person worth fighting for. That kind of impact doesn’t fade it stays with you, reshaping how you see yourself and the world. I want to begin by saying that The Rise in Malibu is far more than just a treatment facility it’s a sanctuary for healing, transformation, and rediscovery. After extensive research, I felt confident in my decision before I even arrived. Now, as I prepare to leave, I can say with absolute certainty: I made the right choice. I’m walking away with the reset I desperately needed, armed with tools, a solid plan, and a renewed sense of purpose. What drew me to The Rise in Malibu was their deep commitment to mental health and trauma recovery the very roots of my struggle. From the moment I made that first call, I wasn’t just another intake. Ron spoke to me with warmth and clarity, painting a picture of the care I’d receive and the space I’d call home. He gave me hope when I was falling apart. Then Allison stepped in, answering every message, listening to my tears, and making sure I had everything I needed to get to Malibu. Angie welcomed me with open arms, her radiant smile and vibrant energy instantly making me feel safe and seen. She tailored my experience with such care that I always felt supported and comfortable. The program itself is exceptional comprehensive and deeply personal. From licensed psychotherapists and medical doctors to psychiatrists, nurses, holistic therapies, case management, personal training, and even a private chef, every detail is designed to nurture healing in body, mind, and spirit. To anyone considering The Rise in Malibu this place doesn’t just treat addiction it treats the person behind it. They saved my life. I recommend them with every ounce of gratitude in my heart. ~ Luka

    I want to share my experience at Rise Malibu. I started 2 months ago for a 30 day inpatient treatment. In one word I would describe my experience as AMAZING!! I have been to other facilities before but this experience is life changing. Its still early in my recovery, (60 days so far) so I can’t speak long term yet. My main therapist Dr Mark was incredible, and had approaches to sobriety that I had never heard of before. Terry, Michael, Cat, Gina, Tim and were all awesome therapists with differing methods of treating addiction. Not just AA which was enlightening to me. As a holistic sceptic, I was very surprised at how it helped me, especially the breathing techniques. I will utilize the breathing and yoga techniques the rest of my life. The support people at the facility John and Nam were great. Offering walks and hikes all the time as well as the Sunday outing. Especially enjoyed just talking about life with John who is a wonderful person and family man. The nurses Paige, Sherri and Zach were awesome to talk to and took very good care of me. The Chef Bryce is a 5 star chef who could work at the best restaurants. The food was great. The facility is beautiful with views of the ocean from every room and a pool on top floor where I stayed. Ron, the owner is a great guy and he really does care. That’s why he does this. I talked to him for an hour on my first call to Rise and he actually answers the phone himself every time I called the number. Again, it’s his passion to help people. The staff started talking about an aftercare plan 10 days after I joined the facility and I had a fully set up aftercare plan complete before I even came home. I very much look forward to writing back again in 6 months as I continue my recovery. In summary I don’t think you can find a better place. I felt my like I was in a protective bubble the entire time with people who really cared about me. If you need help call Rise. Michael J

    This was my second tine in DFC outpatient treatment, the reason I chose DFC was their teaching, there, client, and the friendly environment. I have been to many treatment centers in my past when I knew in my heart I was serious about recovering from drugs and alcohol. There was no other place that I wanted to go other than Design For Change. They give group and individual counseling tailored for the individual which helped me tremendously. They help me find out what I want and how to go about getting it in the group setting they don’t allow disturbances. They make sure everyone is focused. An attentive, which makes it easy to learn. DFC, my wife says thank you for giving her her husband back.

    I have attended the Family Workshop many times. It is so amazing and has helped me so much. Dealing with addicted loved ones is so hard. You must have a support system to help you navigate all of the scary, stressful heartbreaking realities of this disease. The Design For Change staff have become like family to me. I know I can call on them when I need advice, someone to listen or just a shoulder to weep on. They understand and are always willing to help. I feel so very blessed to have found them. I wish every suffering addict and their family members would come to DFC for support and help. I am stronger and definitely more educated in dealing with my addicted loved ones one. If you are suffering from addiction or have a family member or loved one who is an addict, there is hope and help at DFC!

    Jaywalker Lodge is a drug and alcohol rehab located in Carbondale, Colorado. They provide residential substance abuse treatment for adult men. Addiction-related services available at Jaywalker Lodge include inpatient addiction treatment for men with substance use disorders. They also treat co-occurring mental health disorders. The Lodge is Jaywalke
    Coming to Jaywalker was a pivotal turning point in my journey to recovery from substance abuse. I admitted to this program reluctant and broken, not knowing if treatment could help me live a life of fulfillment and freedom from addiction. Jaywalker taught me that community and connection could free me from the desperate cycle of addiction that I felt trapped in. The program focuses on a community based approach to recovery. During the program, I went on activity expeditions, played golf on beautiful courses in the area, competed in pickleball tournaments, and hiked a 14er. The Jaywalker Counselors and Staff are there with you and by your side 24/7 to work with you in all facets of your life. The friends I’ve made at Jaywalker are friends I’ll have the rest of my life. I’m proud to say that I just celebrated my 1st year of Sobriety, and I’m forever grateful what Jaywalker has done for me to help me get there.

    I am an interventionist and consultant who helps families find appropriate treatment options for their loved ones. All of the clients I have placed at Jaywalker have had an excellent experience and have grown significantly throughout their time there. Their treatment approach is clinically sophisticated, and also acknowledges that treatment is only a small piece of the puzzle in regards to a lifetime of recovery. That is why they focus so much attention on community integration, which research indicates is what really results in long term change. Carbondale offers a rich recovery community, and Jaywalker is very much at the heart of that community. If your loved one is in need of great clinical work, meaningful experiences in recovery, and a strong and supportive community. Jaywalker would be an excellent option.

With the guidance of my peers and the staff here they let me regain a part of my soul I lost a long time ago. The town of Carbondale has an amazing recovery community with people that really care. Coming here was the best decision I’ve ever made and I’m forever grateful that I did.

    I called the narcotics anonymous hotline about my son and they arranged for us to take him to Boca. My son didn’t really want to go, but he went and was so glad he did. He is now over 5 months clean and doing extremely well. Thank you, Boca, for giving me my son back. He had nothing but great things to say about the way he was treated at your facility. When we picked up my son, we could see that the staff was very caring. There were hugs and tears from my son and others that he connected with. There was kind words and positivity from the staff. I would recommend Boca and I have to people who have asked. Thanks, again, Boca! ❤️

    I don’t even know where to begin. This treatment center is truly changing lives. My husband attended their program during one of the hardest times our family has ever faced, and I can confidently say they gave us hope and confidence in his recovery. From day one, the staff treated him with compassion and dignity. They weren’t just professionals—they were caring, patient, and truly passionate about helping people rebuild their lives. The counselors went above and beyond, not just helping him work through addiction, but helping him rediscover who he is without it. What meant the most to me as a spouse was how they kept family involved and supported throughout the process. I felt heard and understood. This wasn’t just treatment—it was transformation.

Drew (chef) on top of her great cooking, is so positive and always smiling, and Star makes the best desserts – we even get desserts at breakfast when she’s here!! At the support staff and nurses are so kind and patient. So if you need a place to heal and recover from your addiction issues – this is the place:)

    Clients seeking treatment for alcohol addiction may be required to undergo detox first. The detox process ensures any abused substances are out of a client’s system and that they are in a healthy frame of mind when they enter residential treatment. Detox is overseen and closely monitored by medical staff. The residential program takes clients

    The 90 days I spent at Next Step Recovery may very well be the most important decision of my life. Dealing with substance abuse most of my life then achieving sobriety for a decade and then losing it again. I’ve spent 5 years trying to get back to where I was but just kept failing. In desperation I came to Next Step for 30 days of treatment and later decided to complete a full 90 days of treatment. Next Step is simply different. The program and its environment were perfect for my needs. The staff is incredible and truly care. All their therapists are second to none. The housing environment blew my expectations away with a comfortable home (not a compound) combination of safety and recovery while maintaining many freedoms like going to the gym, grocery shopping and cooking, river rafting, walks through beautiful Asheville. I even got a cool job towards the end. Next Step just offered this incredible treatment program while offering the supported opportunity to to practice normal life with out substance abuse. Not really how I imagined this “treatment”. experience would be. No it was ten times better! Most relaxed I’ve ever been in a long time. Months later im back home with my family and everything thing is going great! And when things are not great I can handle it using the tools that Next Step gave me. Still rockin it! Thanks so much to you all J

Everything was in order, From the staff to the cleanliness. The snack bar was always full. They even had their own drink machine. The nurse is always on duty. Anytime you need your medicine you got it. No matter the time. My bedroom had a flat screen TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Pluto TV and much more. They have community cigarettes, Basketball Court and a Gazebo! I couldn’t believe this place! They have a private chef! They feed you three times a day all hot meals. You also can also go to group. They have a big screen TV in the common area. So if you want to talk and watch TV you can! They also have a PS5! I couldn’t feel more comfortable anywhere else!

    I truly loved this place. During my time here, I struggled a lot the first couple weeks, and that was intentional on the programs part. It’s not supposed to be easy and you can adjust to the difficult aspects by truly letting go of wanting to control and accepting why you came to get help. I grew more here in a month than I ever could have in the real world. I loved the staff, the doctors, the clinicians, the nurses, and my housemates. I never thought I’d say this but I actually miss being here! The forced structure was comforting and having small responsibilities daily helped me stay accountable. I miss making my bed after breakfast and tending to my little plant. I miss racing to the kitchen after group before 9 am hit so I could have one last cup of coffee. I miss that. I miss making things special as opposed to just having carte Blanche to drink caffeine whenever I want now, it takes the meaning out of the actions we choose when we live with no rules or structure. The content of learning was helpful, and yes at times repetitious, but that’s how we change. Changing isn’t learning something then doing it perfect the next day. It is tedious amounts of reps and time that add up to meaningful change, it’s not glamorous like the world makes change seem. This program is HARD. And that’s what I wanted. I wanted challenge, I wanted growth, and I was sick and tired of being tired. This time in my life I decided I wasn’t the expert on how to do things considering how badly things were going. Please know that if it’s hard or you think it should be your way, it’s okay to let go and let them be the experts in their field. I am forever changed from this place, and I hope you will be too. And I am better for it because of this place, the friendships and love from staff alike.❤️
