Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely used, well-studied psychotherapy that effectively treats anxiety, depression, and many medical conditions, such as persistent pain, stress-related illness, chronic fatigue, and rheumatoid arthritis, among others. Its considered one of the principal mind/body modalities because it focuses on how positive thinking and proactive action engenders health. A present-focused, goal-directed therapy may not be sufficient for more intractable psychological problems, such as trauma, or specific medical presentations that would profit from more emotionally explorative therapy. But, where appropriate, I frequently utilize cognitive and behavioral strategies in my clinical practice and believe my patients find them helpful.
