achieving it.
Motivational Guidance

personal change.
Directive Approahc
CBT sessions adhere to a well-defined structure, with discernible beginnings, middle sections, and conclusions.
Structured Session
Therapists initially play a more active role and gradually transition to a balanced collaboration based on the client’s readiness and motivation.
Collaborative Effort
CBT aims to find practical solutions to well-defined problems experienced by clients rather than addressing vague or general
objectives.
Problem-centric Focus
CBT is focused on developing actionable solutions by implementing strategies aside from gaining insights into the client’s issues.
Solution-focused
CBT explores and modifies the cognitive and emotional structures, or schemas, that shape a person’s worldview.
Schema Dynamics
CBT promotes the idea that each therapy session should stand on its own while focusing on achieving specific goals within a reasonable timeframe.
