You may be thoughtful and self-aware, yet find yourself overthinking, avoiding certain emotions, or feeling disconnected from who you are or where you’re headed. Questions about identity, values, and purpose often sit quietly underneath these experi…

Frequently Asked Questions About Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
CBT is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that examines the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The core principle is that unhelpful thinking patterns contribute to emotional distress — and that changing those patterns can meaningfully improve how you feel and function. CBT is one of the most extensively researched forms of therapy in the world, with strong evidence across a wide range of mental health conditions.
What conditions does CBT treat effectively?
CBT has robust evidence for treating anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, insomnia, chronic pain, and substance use disorders. It is also widely used for stress management, anger management, grief, and relationship difficulties. The Canadian Psychological Association recognizes CBT as a first-line psychological treatment for many of these conditions.
What does a typical CBT session involve?
CBT sessions are structured and goal-directed, typically including a review of the previous week, work on a specific skill or technique, and between-session practice exercises. Common techniques include thought records to identify and challenge unhelpful thinking, behavioural experiments, activity scheduling, and exposure exercises. Practising skills between sessions consistently produces better outcomes than in-session work alone.
How many CBT sessions will I need?
CBT is typically short-term, ranging from 6 to 20 sessions depending on the presenting concern. Some conditions respond quickly — specific phobias may improve in 5–10 sessions — while others, such as OCD or personality disorders, often require more extended treatment. Your therapist will work with you to set clear goals and review progress throughout.
How is CBT different from other types of therapy?
CBT differs from traditional psychodynamic or humanistic therapy in its structured, present-focused, and skills-based approach. Rather than spending extended time exploring past experiences, CBT focuses on teaching concrete tools to change thoughts and behaviours in the here and now. Many therapists integrate CBT with other approaches — such as mindfulness, ACT, or DBT — depending on individual needs.
