How CBT Fits into Online Therapy
Dr. Sherman uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice patterns of thinking that lead to anxiety and panic. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then uses simple experiments and skill practice to change what isn’t working. This approach is often useful for panic symptoms, phobias, social anxiety, and mood difficulties.She also draws on behavioral techniques such as graded exposure and activity scheduling to reduce avoidance and rebuild confidence. These techniques involve planned steps toward feared situations and regular practice to restore daily routines and sleep patterns.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most helpful, set clear goals together, and adjust strategies based on progress and preferences. Clients help guide which techniques are emphasized so work fits their life and pace.
