What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy | Rancher Boots

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that combines principles from cognitive psychology and behaviorism to reduce symptoms of mental health conditions by challenging and adjusting convictions and assumptions, and learning better adapted behavior. CBT is a widely used and effective treatment approach, with its focus on evidence-based practice and cognitive science. CBT is also closely related to other forms of therapy, such as mindfulness-based stress reduction, which was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn.
