Leo H. says, "I took on hypnotherapy to improve myself which would in-effect improve my life. Before I would be held back by stress which wouldn't allow me to improve myself. With Farzin, I felt free to share anything without judgement and I was able to let go of what held me back from being my best self. In taking on the hypnotherapy work, I was able to expand my compassion and ability to forgive which set me free mentally, physically, and spiritually. From this freedom, I gained a newfound motivation to reach my goals. Now, life flows better and I feel a sense of self-improvement everyday. Stress doesn't hold me back! I see that anything is possible for me in life and that everything that happens to me is a gift. I know this hypnosis work serves me in a positive way because I say so! Here, I will be unwrapping presents for the rest of my life. To anyone who's wondering if hypnotherapy will help, please know from me that hypnosis will make you fly in life and Farzin will help you overcome your issues. Hypnosis with Farzin is the turning point towards your best life." Read more

Your cognitive behavioral therapy questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does cognitive behavioral therapy cost?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) costs $100 to $250 per session without insurance, depending on your location. Prices are on the high end of the range in major metropolitan areas like Los Angeles and New York. Many therapists offer virtual therapy appointments for $50 to $200 per session

The average cost of CBT with insurance is $20 to $60 per session for the copay. However, many health insurance plans do not cover therapy costs unless you have a billable diagnosis, such as depression or bipolar disorder.

Online therapy costs $50 to $110 per week for a membership plan or $85 to $135+ per session. Onlien therapy websites provide therapy in a variety of formats, depending on the site. Popular formats include text messaging, online chat, email, phone, or live video sessions with a licensed therapist.

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a popular form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that have a negative influence on your behavior or emotions. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented treatment approach based on these core principles:

  • Our thoughts impact our feelings and behaviors.
  • Our deeply rooted core beliefs impact how we view ourselves, our environment, and our future.
  • Unhelpful thought patterns can contribute to mental health problems and negative behaviors.
  • Recognizing how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and changing how we think can improve our mental health and well-being.

What can cognitive behavioral therapy help with?

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help with a wide variety of concerns, including these and more:

  • Depression and mood changes
  • Eating disorders
  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Chronic stress
  • Phobias
  • Addiction and substance use
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Marriage and relationship problems
  • Grief and loss
  • Personality disorders

Does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) work?

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most successful treatment methods available. Many research studies have demonstrated CBT to be as effective as or more effective than other therapy methods and medications.

However, CBT works best for individuals who take an active role in their treatment and apply the skills and techniques learned in their therapy sessions to challenges they face in everyday life. It's also important to remember results take time, and though CBT can significantly improve your mental health, some issues could persist after therapy ends.

Where can I find the best cognitive behavioral therapist near me?

When searching for a therapist for CBT, it's important to choose one who makes you feel comfortable, safe, and respected. Follow these tips in your search:

  • If you have a specific concern—such as depression, stress, or addiction—look for therapists who specialize in that area.
  • Ask your medical provider for recommendations.
  • Read reviews from other clients on Thervo and Google.
  • Confirm the therapist accepts your insurance or offers a sliding-scale rate.
  • Ask about telemedicine and virtual visit options.
  • Schedule an initial consultation to make sure you're happy with the therapist's communication style and empathy.

What questions should I ask cognitive behavioral therapists?

Ask these questions to help you find the best therapist for you:

  • How long have you been practicing?
  • What are your certifications?
  • What is your philosophy as a therapist?
  • Are you more directive or guiding in your sessions?
  • What does a typical therapy session look like?
  • How long will each session last?
  • Do you give homework or reading assignments?
  • How many sessions do you expect I'll need?
  • How do you determine success in therapy?
  • What is your success rate in treating past clients with this issue?

Renee was amazing! I was working on a big career transition; healthcare to the corporate world and was feeling lost. She helped me identify my career goals, translate my experience into a new resume, and taught me how to communicate my skills for the job I wanted. She was patient and supportive and had lots of great tips and knowledge! I was able to successfully secure a new job in the field I wanted. I highly recommend Renee's services!

I had very good experience working with Michele! I am especially impressed by how some of her practical advice--by which I mean specific actions and habits drawn from insights--has had a measurable positive effect on my daily life. Very satisfied!

Khaleghl’s work is a true gift. She offers spiritual and astrological information to clients like me, that helps us become the best and most authentic versions of ourselves. Khaleghl speaks to the soul and I believe that this is true because somewhere inside myself, the information she shares is familiar and automatically understood. The confidence she has offered me through this type of "mirroring" has helped me understand my innate tendencies and has helped me make conscious choices in my life, that are more aligned with my soul’s purpose. I am so grateful for Khaleghl and her incredibly important work.
