This approach is useful for people navigating life transitions, relationship issues, and grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical tools and structured strategies that can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.
