Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Do you ever feel like your thoughts are working against you—telling you that you’re not good enough, that you’re failing, or that things will never get better? These thoughts can feel overwhelming and isolating, especially during life transitions or as you navigate the challenges of motherhood.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a trusted, evidence-based approach designed to help you understand and change unhelpful thought patterns. At its core, CBT teaches that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. By identifying and reshaping negative or distorted thinking, you can develop healthier ways to respond to life’s challenges and feel more in control of your emotions.

What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?

Originally developed by Dr. Aaron Beck in the 1960s, CBT has been extensively studied and proven effective for a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and more. It’s not about “thinking positive” all the time—it’s about learning to think realistically and compassionately, so you can face life with confidence and resilience.


CBT is a structured, collaborative approach that’s practical and empowering. It’s about learning tools you can use in real life, whether you’re managing the mental load of parenting, navigating postpartum challenges, or working through self-doubt.



At Harlowe Counseling, we use CBT to support clients with challenges such as:

How Does CBT Work, and Who Can It Help?

How CBT Can Help

In therapy, we’ll work together to:
  • Identify unhelpful thought patterns that may be contributing to stress or emotional pain.
  • Challenge and reframe those thoughts, replacing them with more realistic and constructive ones.
  • Develop practical coping skills, like relaxation techniques, problem-solving strategies, and mindfulness practices.



What Happens in a CBT Session?

CBT is a collaborative process—you’re an active participant in your own growth. Sessions are focused, goal-oriented, and designed to equip you with tools you can use outside of therapy.

Why Choose CBT?

CBT is effective because it focuses on what’s happening in the here and now, giving you actionable strategies to feel better and create change. It’s not about reliving the past—it’s about empowering you to take charge of your present and future.

At Harlowe Counseling, we’ve seen how powerful CBT can be in helping clients create meaningful change in their lives. Our therapists are highly trained in this approach and use it because it’s practical, effective, and adaptable to a wide range of challenges.

We’ve used CBT to help women navigate anxiety, rebuild confidence after life transitions, and manage the unique challenges of motherhood. Many clients tell us they appreciate how structured and actionable CBT feels—it’s therapy you can take with you into your daily life.

Our team combines CBT with other approaches, like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness, to create a tailored experience that meets your unique needs. Whether you’re navigating postpartum struggles, balancing the mental load of parenting, or working on self-esteem, CBT provides tools to help you move forward.
