Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Treatment Programs at Renaissance Recovery

Many people seeking CBT therapy feel stuck in negative thought patterns that drive anxiety, low mood, or unhealthy behaviors. When thoughts automatically jump to worst-case scenarios or self-criticism, it can affect motivation, relationships, and recovery progress. CBT therapy helps individuals understand how thoughts influence emotions and behaviors—and how to change them.

Negative thinking can fuel anxiety and depression
Automatic thoughts often feel difficult to interrupt
Emotions and behaviors are closely connected
CBT therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking patterns

CBT therapy uses structured techniques to identify distorted thoughts, challenge them, and replace them with healthier perspectives. This process supports emotional clarity and better decision-making. CBT therapy is offered through Renaissance Recovery within our outpatient and dual diagnosis programs, with mental health–only treatment available through the District Behavioral Health network. By addressing thought patterns directly, CBT therapy supports long-term emotional and behavioral change.

With addiction on the rise in the United States and depression rates tripling, more people are asking themselves “What is cognitive behavioral therapy?”

Cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly abbreviated to CBT, is a form of psychotherapy founded by Dr. Aaron Beck in the 1960s. Mainly used to treat anxiety disorders and depressive disorders, CBT can also be applied effectively to other areas of physical and mental health. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also proven effective for the treatment of alcohol use disorder (alcoholism) and substance use disorder (drug addiction).

What is CBT?

Psychotherapy is the clinical descriptor for talk therapy. As the informal name implies, talking is central to this type of psychosocial intervention.

When CBT is implemented in combination with behavioral therapy, you can learn to better manage your problems and stressors by changing the way in which you think and behave.

Working closely with a cognitive behavioral therapist, you will explore the flawed and faulty reasoning and thinking that has led to issues like addiction to drink and drugs.

Many forms of therapy dive deep into the past, whereas CBT focuses sharply on your current circumstances. CBT sessions do not involve laying on a couch and pouring out your past. CBT does acknowledge the past but places more emphasis on using problem-centered strategies to improve functioning.

Your therapist will help you to identify distorted and negative thoughts. They will also help you to create healthy coping strategies to employ when you are confronted with stressors or problems.

All of the following professionals can lead cognitive behavioral therapy sessions:

Psychologist
Psychiatrist
Counselor
Licensed social worker

Cognitive behavioral therapy can help you to become more aware of automatic thoughts, learning to differentiate between irrational thoughts and fact more accurately.

Instead of catastrophizing – fearing the worst in all situations – you’ll learn to face up to and overcome fears instead of avoiding them and letting those fears rule your life. CBT will help you to establish attainable goals and work toward achieving those goals.

What is Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) is a specific type of CBT that addresses the needs of trauma survivors who are struggling to overcome the symptoms of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and similar conditions.

TF-CBT is a short-term therapy model, typically involving from 12 to 18 short sessions of 25 minutes.

Trauma-focused CBT is highly effective for treating trauma-based disorders, especially in children and adolescents. The therapy was first developed to treat patients aged 3 to 18.

There is a strong evidence base for the effectiveness of trauma-focused CBT. Through TF-CBT sessions, you’ll learn how to change the way you think and act, regardless of external events.

In addition to treating the symptoms of trauma-based disorders, TF-CBT can also be beneficial for overcoming sleep disorders and for preventing addiction relapse.

The concepts of TF-CBT are drawn from the following philosophies and treatment modalities:

Humanistic psychology
Cognitive therapy
Behavioral therapy
Family therapy

How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Works

Everyone engages with CBT sessions for different reasons. Your therapist will help you to explore and identify the thought patterns and behaviors causing problems in your life. As you become more proficient at isolating what triggers you into a vicious cycle of automatic behaviors and negative outcomes, you’ll find you can influence how you act in response to certain thoughts.

Over time, practicing CBT will empower you to become your own therapist. You should gain the ability to change problematic patterns of thinking, to control your emotions more fully, and to change your behaviors.

CBT sessions will assist you in these key areas:

Identification: Your therapist teaches you to identify problematic emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
Recognition: You learn how to interrupt the thoughts and actions triggering adverse outcomes.
Management: You use CBT techniques of CBT to benefit body and mind, and also to avoid engaging in self-defeating behaviors.

Through the application of a variety of techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy involves:

Employing calming techniques
Gaining a deeper understanding of the motivation and thinking of others
Discovering how faulty thinking can worsen problems
Sharpening your problem-solving skills
Improving self-confidence and self-worth
Confronting your challenges or fears

What is the Goal of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?

The APA reports that cognitive behavioral therapy is based on these core assumptions:

Problematic thinking underpins many psychological issues
Learned patterns of behavior can be both unhelpful and damaging
It is possible to learn more productive patterns of thinking and behaving
Using coping skills learned via CBT, you can alleviate the intensity of adverse symptoms
Cultivating new and healthy habits can lead to an improvement in daily functioning

You can benefit in all of these areas if you complete a short and time-limited course of CBT.

Extremely happy with my time at Renaissance Recovery. I was there for 9 months, and it genuinely changed my life. From the rigorous group settings with an array of facilitators, amazing therapy sessions with Erika, and support of my case manager Ricky, genuinely thank you so much. The staff is very kind. I would say I wish the facility had comfier options for sitting in groups all day, especially for larger folks. But all in all very happy with my time here, well worth it.

The best gift I have ever given myself was choosing to complete long-term treatment at Renaissance Recovery. Clients are exposed to high quality, clinical treatment, balanced with spiritual programming in alignment with the 12 steps. The emphasis on the recovery community is incredibly strong, and the people I surrounded myself with taught me to find joy in my sobriety. Sober Living accommodations were well above average and safe. My life today is unrecognizable from when I first came through their doors, and I reflect on my experience at Renaissance often. Forever grateful for the opportunity they afforded me!

I would absolutely refer anyone to this facility. The staff truly care about helping each individual client. They work with you to address any need you may have. The sober living homes are also very nice. The community events make it easy to have fun and make lots of friends.

Rennaisance provided me every tool I needed to get sober and stay sober. Great facilitators, case managers and therapists, great sober living facilities and house managers to take you to any appointments, even to work if you get a job. Overall they created a great environment to begin the journey to long term sobriety

Love this place!!!! They accommodate most of your needs to become a successful member of society. This place saved my life. And my family’s life. Best staff, best case managers, and therapists. And they have dual diagnosis as well, so that was very helpful.

Ricky was my case manager and was professional. My therapist Crista was great as well. The front desk was phenomenal
