Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in Tampa, FL

Change your thoughts. Change your life.

I use CBT to help you break free from unhelpful thought patterns, reduce anxiety, lift depression, and build confidence. Together, we’ll focus on tools you can use right now—not years from now.

CBT can help with:

  • Anxiety & panic

  • Depression

  • OCD & intrusive thoughts

  • Phobias & fears

  • Stress management

  • Self-esteem & relationships

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is one of the most researched and effective forms of counseling. I use CBT to help my clients understand the powerful connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—so they can make meaningful, lasting changes in their lives.

In our work together, I’ll help you:

  • Identify thoughts and beliefs that may be holding you back

  • Challenge those thoughts with evidence and alternative perspectives

  • Practice new coping skills and strategies in real-life situations

How CBT Works

CBT is present-focused and goal-oriented. While your history matters, we’ll focus on what you can do right now to improve your mental health and overall well-being.

What CBT Can Help With

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients work through:

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Depression and low mood

  • OCD and intrusive thoughts

  • Phobias and fears

  • Stress management

  • Relationship challenges

  • Building confidence and self-esteem

Why I Use CBT

Unlike some forms of therapy that are purely insight-based, CBT gives you practical, actionable skills you can start using right away. I see therapy as a team effort—you and I will work together to create real, lasting progress.

What to Expect in CBT Sessions

In our sessions, we won’t just talk about what’s going on—we’ll work on strategies to help you handle it. A typical CBT session may include:

  • Talking through situations that triggered stress or strong emotions

  • Exploring the thoughts that came up in those moments

  • Noticing patterns in your thinking and behavior

  • Practicing new, more helpful responses

I’ll create a personalized plan that fits your goals, pace, and comfort level.

My goal is to give you tools you can use long after therapy ends.
