Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Individual psychotherapy has been a proven successful treatment for individuals dealing with self-esteem problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an evidence-based form of therapy. The techniques of this therapy derive from the idea that thoughts lead to emotions and behaviors. The purpose of the treatment is to help a person recognize the self-defeating negative thoughts that lie behind emotional flare-ups. Individuals work with a mental health professional to learn how to manage stressful life circumstances and self-defeating thoughts more successfully. o The cognitive-behavioral approach has many benefits. Individuals learn to cope better with difficult life situations, positively resolve conflict in relationships, and mentally handle emotional stress. Working with a therapist will assist in learning how to cope with difficult or uncomfortable feelings, repair relationships, manage stress and regulate mood.
