It can be useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people identify unhelpful patterns and practice different responses for issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
