Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected — and how changing one can positively influence the others.

Here’s how it works 👇

🧠 Cognitive (Thinking):
CBT helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thoughts (like “I’ll never get better”) and challenge them with more realistic, balanced ones.

💬 Behavioral (Actions):
It also focuses on actions — encouraging small, manageable changes in daily habits that improve mood and confidence over time.

💪 The Goal:
To help you develop healthy coping skills, improve problem-solving, and gain control over how you respond to life’s challenges.

CBT is effective for:
✔️ Anxiety and panic attacks
✔️ Depression
✔️ Stress and anger
✔️ OCD and trauma
✔️ Sleep or relationship problems

At Rivertown Counseling Center, our trained therapists use CBT and other proven methods to help you build the tools to feel better and live healthier.

🌼 Reminders from a Therapist

Take Small Steps: Focus on one small goal at a time — a shower, a short walk, or a healthy meal. Tiny steps add up to big changes.

Challenge Negative Thoughts: When your mind says “I can’t,” pause and ask, “Is that true?” Often, your inner critic isn’t being honest with you.

Seek Support: You don’t have to do this alone. A counselor is here to walk with you, not just talk to you. 💚

As we celebrate Independence Day, we encourage you to take a moment to check in with yourself and your loved ones. Holidays can bring joy—but also stress, memories, or emotional challenges.

📱 Let’s Talk About Mental Health & Social Media 🧠

Social media connects us—but it can also consume us.

Constant comparison, doom-scrolling, and pressure to “always be on” can increase anxiety, loneliness, and low self-esteem. Studies show that heavy social media use is linked to higher rates of depression, especially in teens and young adults.

If you find yourself:

Feeling worse after scrolling

Comparing your life to others

Struggling with sleep or focus

…it might be time to check in with your mental health.

🌟 At Rivertown Counseling Center, we help individuals of all ages set healthy boundaries and reconnect with real-life balance.

You’re not alone—and there is help.
📍Call us today to get started.
