Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a widely-used psychological treatment aimed at addressing dysfunctional emotions, behaviors, and thoughts through a goal-oriented, systematic approach. It operates on the principle that negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are central to emotional distress, and that by challenging and changing these patterns, individuals can alter their behavior and emotional state. CBT combines cognitive and behavioral techniques to help patients develop coping strategies, solve problems, and achieve personal goals, ultimately leading to improved mental health and well-being.
