Understand, change, grow
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the best-researched and most effective forms of psychotherapy. It is based on the insight that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are closely interconnected and influence each other.
In therapy, you learn to recognize and change distressing thought patterns, build new behaviors, and better understand and regulate your emotional responses.
The Basic Principle
Thoughts, emotions, and behavior influence each other – we can intervene at any of these points.
Thoughts
How we evaluate and interpret situations significantly influences how we feel. Negative thought patterns can be identified and changed.
Emotions
Emotions are important signals. In therapy, you learn to perceive, understand, and appropriately regulate your feelings.
Behavior
Unhelpful behavioral patterns such as avoidance maintain problems. New strategies are developed together and tested in everyday life.
Therapeutic Methods
Depending on the topic and therapy phase, I use various evidence-based methods.
Cognitive Restructuring
Identifying, challenging, and replacing distressing thought patterns with more helpful evaluations.
Exposure & Confrontation
Gradual approach to anxiety-inducing situations to reduce avoidance behavior.
Behavioral Experiments
Gathering new experiences to test negative expectations and beliefs.
Mindfulness Training
Perceiving the moment without judgment – for greater serenity and inner peace.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Systematic tensing and relaxing of muscle groups to reduce physical tension.
Psychoeducation
Building knowledge about your condition – because understanding is the first step toward change.
What Can You Expect?
Behavioral therapy is an active, solution-oriented process. In sessions, we work together on your individual topics. Between sessions, there are often small exercises or observation tasks that help you apply what you have learned in everyday life.
The therapy is transparent and comprehensible: you always know why we use certain methods, and your active participation is an important part of success.
Transparency
You understand every therapy step and why it matters.
Participation
Exercises between sessions reinforce what you have learned in everyday life.
Effectiveness
One of the best-researched therapy approaches worldwide.
