At UYC, we believe therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Our clinicians have pursued training in a diverse range of evidence-based modalities to better support your healing journey. Please note that while our therapists are trained in these frameworks, every treatment plan is uniquely tailored to the individual client. Your therapist will collaborate with you to determine the best approach for your specific goals, often integrating tools from multiple modalities rather than relying on just one.
What is the CBT Framework?
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an evidence-informed approach focused on exploring how our interpretations of events influence our emotional reactions and daily choices.
Rather than viewing negative thoughts as permanent facts, a CBT framework encourages examining them with curiosity. By building awareness of unhelpful thinking habits or automatic cycles, individuals can learn practical strategies to reframe thoughts, adjust behaviors, and approach everyday challenges with greater balance.
How It Is Used in Therapy
A CBT-informed approach means drawing from cognitive and behavioral strategies alongside other established clinical frameworks.
Therapy is always individualized. Your therapist will collaborate with you to determine the best approach or blend of interventions for your specific needs and goals. Incorporating CBT strategies can be helpful for:
Identifying automatic or unhelpful thinking patterns.
Developing practical coping tools for stress and anxiety management.
Exploring the connection between emotions, thoughts, and daily habits.
Building problem-solving skills and resilience during life transitions.
Our Team & Approach
Integrative Practice: We draw from CBT strategies as conceptual tools within a broader therapeutic approach rather than offering certified, single-modality protocols.
Clinician Alignment: Select therapists on our team have a clinical interest in cognitive-behavioral frameworks and draw from CBT-informed principles to support their work with clients.
Client Matching: Because therapist backgrounds, learning interests, and clinical approaches vary across our practice, we encourage you to view our team profiles or connect with our intake team to find a practitioner whose approach aligns with your goals.
