Cognitive behavioral therapy strategies have been
used to help clients overcome a wide variety of problems. These include
anxiety and panic disorder, ocd (obsessive compulsive disorder),
phobias, social anxiety disorder, stress, depression and dysthymia,
anger management, sleep problems such as chronic insomnia, body
image problems, and relationship difficulties. Other problems that CBT
can help with include habit disorders such as cigarette smoking,
assertiveness, self esteem improvement, and helping stop
procrastination.
In fact, since most psychological problems consist of problems
with emotion, thinking, and behavior, CBT techniques will apply to
almost any psychological problem. Even with clearly organic disorders
such as schizophrenia, there is evidence that CBT helps manage these
chronic problems.
