Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

At Infinite Path, we offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a widely used and research-backed approach that helps individuals change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is based on the idea that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours are interconnected, and by adjusting how we think, we can influence how we feel and act.

What is CBT?

CBT is a structured, goal-oriented form of therapy that helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns while developing healthier coping strategies. This approach is practical and solution-focused, empowering clients to actively work on making meaningful changes in their daily lives.

How Does CBT Work?

CBT is based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact and influence one another. It focuses on identifying and restructuring unhelpful thoughts while encouraging positive behavioural changes. The process includes:

  1. Identifying Negative Thought Patterns – Recognizing thoughts that contribute to distress and self-doubt.
  2. Challenging Unhelpful Thoughts – Learning to assess the accuracy and helpfulness of these thoughts.
  3. Cognitive Restructuring – Replacing distorted thinking with more balanced, realistic perspectives.
  4. Behavioural Activation – Engaging in activities that promote well-being and break cycles of avoidance.
  5. Developing Coping Strategies – Practicing new ways to manage stress, anxiety, and difficult emotions.

CBT helps clients gain insight into their thinking patterns and develop effective tools to create positive change in their lives.

What Can CBT Help With?

CBT is one of the most researched and effective forms of therapy for a wide range of mental health concerns, including:

  • Anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, phobias)
  • Depression and low mood
  • Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Stress management and burnout
  • Chronic pain and illness management
  • Sleep difficulties and insomnia
  • Anger management
  • Low self-esteem and self-criticism

By helping individuals develop healthier ways of thinking and responding to challenges, CBT supports long-term emotional resilience and well-being.

What to Expect in an CBT Session

CBT is a structured and collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to develop strategies for change. Sessions typically include:

  • Identifying unhelpful thought patterns through guided discussions.
  • Learning practical skills to challenge and reframe negative thinking.
  • Engaging in behavioural experiments to test new ways of responding.
  • Developing coping strategies for managing stress and difficult emotions.
  • Practicing techniques to build long-term resilience and confidence.

CBT often includes homework exercises to reinforce learning outside of sessions, helping clients apply new skills in everyday life.
