CBT for Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad—it can affect how individuals think, behave, and experience the world around them. Many people find themselves caught in patterns of negative thinking, withdrawal, and low motivation that can be difficult to break. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression is based on the understanding that these patterns are interconnected and can be changed with the right tools and support.

Your therapist will begin CBT by helping you identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be maintaining your depression. Together, you will work on developing more balanced ways of thinking, increasing engagement in meaningful activities, and building skills to improve mood and motivation. Over time, these changes can help you feel more connected, energized, and hopeful.

CBT for depression is an evidence-based treatment with strong support from decades of research. It has been shown to be effective across a wide range of ages and levels of severity, including in combination with other treatments when appropriate. By addressing both thoughts and behaviors, CBT provides a comprehensive approach to lasting recovery.
