Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

When Your Mind Becomes the Battlefield—CBT Helps You Take Back Control

Anxiety. Addiction. Depression. Trauma. Self-doubt.

At some point, you may have started believing your thoughts were facts. That you were broken, helpless, unworthy. That nothing would ever change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) gives you the tools to challenge those beliefs—and rewrite the story. It’s one of the most widely researched and effective forms of therapy, and at Totality, it’s foundational to the individualized care we provide.

What Is CBT

CBT is a structured, short-term form of therapy focused on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It’s based on the idea that:

Thoughts affect feelings

Feelings affect behaviors

Changing one can shift the others

What CBT Helps With

At Totality, we use CBT to support clients facing:

Substance use and addiction
Depression and hopelessness
Anxiety and panic attacks
PTSD and trauma triggers
Shame and self-criticism
Emotional dysregulation
Relapse prevention and coping skills
Thought spirals and compulsive behaviors

CBT is one of the core methods we use to help clients stabilize, reflect, and move forward with clarity and confidence.

What Happens During CBT at Totality

CBT sessions are collaborative, structured, and practical. You’ll work with a trained therapist to:

Identify distorted thinking patterns (“I always fail,” “No one cares about me,” “It’s too late to change”)

Understand how those thoughts influence your feelings and behaviors

Learn and practice new ways of thinking, responding, and coping

Set small, realistic goals that create long-term change

Track your progress in real time through journaling, reflection, or worksheets
