Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviors and trying practical exercises to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, coping with life changes, and habits tied to addiction or anger.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Sam will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration may include mixing listening-focused work with skill-building and homework exercises.
