This approach suits people seeking a supportive space to process emotions, build self-esteem, or work through relationship and life-change issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is practical and goal-oriented, often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and coping strategies for everyday challenges.
