Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Psychologist Karen L. Gillock, PhD
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not external things, like people, situations, and events. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing healthier responses, you can change the way you think so that you can feel better and do what is healthier for you.
Specializations
When you work with a psychologist who specializes in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, you receive more than general support—you receive focused, evidence-informed care designed for your specific challenges, whether anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationships, or life transitions.
Practice Information
When something is troubling you or someone you love, CBT can help. Whether you’re facing anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, or challenges during or after cancer treatment, focused therapy offers practical tools to understand patterns, reduce distress, build resilience, and move toward a calmer, more confident life with meaningful support today.
