Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Culturally Responsive CBT in California

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps you understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact. CBT is especially helpful when you feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm.

CBT Can Help With

• Anxiety and chronic worry

• Depression and low mood

• Panic, phobias, and intrusive thoughts

• Trauma-related stress

• Perfectionism and self-doubt

• Emotion regulation and coping skills

How CBT Helps

CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical strategies that support emotional balance and change. Sessions are structured, collaborative, and goal-oriented.

A Culturally Attuned CBT Approach

For Filipino and Asian American clients, cultural values and family expectations often shape core beliefs. CBT is adapted to honor cultural identity while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you.

Is CBT a Good Fit?

CBT may be helpful if you want therapy that feels practical, intentional, and skill-based while remaining culturally responsive.
