CBT is highly effective in reducing anxiety symptoms, with the greatest improvements occurring within the first 90 days of treatment.
Motivation impacts therapy outcomes—clients with high motivation (self-rated 6 or higher) showed faster symptom reduction, were more engaged in therapy, and attended more sessions.
Virtual & hybrid therapy formats are effective—no significant difference in treatment outcomes between virtual, hybrid, and in-person CBT.
Importance of continued treatment beyond 90 days—early discontinuation of services may prevent clients from experiencing the full benefits of CBT treatment.
Our team of expert clinicians works collaboratively with each individual to ensure they receive the right balance of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), medication management services, and other effective interventions tailored to their needs.
