Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that combines cognitive therapy (a type of psychotherapy that focuses on understanding and changing negative thought patterns) with behavioral therapy (a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing specific behaviors). CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help individuals better manage difficult or challenging situations. It is often used to treat anxiety, depression, phobias, and other mental health issues.
