Psychologists who offer cognitive behavioural therapy
What is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely used and well-documented forms of therapy. The method focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that maintain psychological difficulties. CBT is used for anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, and sleep problems, and is typically a structured short-term therapy with exercises between sessions.
What is CBT?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. The method is based on the idea that negative thought patterns can reinforce psychological problems. By identifying and changing these patterns, you can achieve lasting improvement. CBT is evidence-based and recommended by the Danish Health Authority for several conditions.
Who can benefit from CBT?
CBT is effective for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, sleep problems, and stress. The method is also used for eating disorders and chronic pain. Many psychologists in Denmark with a ydernummer offer CBT, and it is often the therapy form subsidized by the national health insurance.
What does a CBT course look like?
A typical course lasts 8-20 sessions. In the beginning, the psychologist maps your challenges and sets goals. Then you work together with concrete techniques such as thought recording, behavioral experiments, and exposure. You typically receive homework assignments between sessions.
CBT vs. other therapy forms
Where psychodynamic therapy focuses on the past and underlying conflicts, CBT primarily works with present thought and behavior patterns. CBT is typically more structured and time-limited. However, many psychologists combine elements from multiple therapy forms to customize treatment for the individual.
