Why Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is So Crucial and Relevant for Today’s Clinician
CBT and other evidence-based treatments have repeatedly proven their effectiveness in clinical settings throughout the United States and around the world.
For a number of the most common mental health conditions, CBT has proven to be the most effective treatment. As a result, CBT is increasingly being recognized, promoted and reimbursed by federal healthcare-policy makers, insurance companies and HMOs. The domino effect is that employers are actively seeking skill-based counselors with practical cognitive therapy experience.
