Focused on useful change
Cognitive behavioral therapy, commonly called CBT, helps make recurring patterns easier to recognize. Treatment may explore how interpretations affect emotional and physical responses, and how habits such as avoidance can unintentionally keep distress going.
CBT is collaborative. Dr. Gold works with you to identify goals, choose useful strategies, and adjust the approach when a method is not helping.
What CBT may address
- Anxiety, worry, panic, and avoidance
- Depression, low motivation, and loss of interest
- Trauma and PTSD reactions
- Anger, stress, grief, and life transitions
- Relationship and communication patterns
- Health concerns, chronic pain, and sleep difficulties
Additional practical tools
Depending on your needs, treatment may also draw from brief solution-focused methods, rational-emotive approaches, mindfulness, relaxation, meditation, breathing exercises, or self-hypnosis.
