When everyday challenges begin to feel overwhelming, it can impact how you think, feel, and function at home, school, or work. Children, teens, and young adults may struggle with persistent worry, emotional outbursts, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty staying focused, leaving families unsure of where to turn. At Westchester Child Therapy, we provide cognitive behavioral therapy to help individuals better understand these patterns and develop practical skills to move forward with confidence. Conveniently located in Scarsdale, New York, our experienced team offers thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s needs.
What Is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning healthier responses, individuals can gain greater control over their reactions and daily experiences. CBT is commonly used to support children, teens, and young adults facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, anger management, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Guided by a licensed psychologist, therapy sessions are collaborative and skills-focused, helping individuals apply what they learn in real-life situations.
Common CBT Techniques
CBT incorporates a variety of proven techniques designed to promote insight and change. These may include gradual exposure to feared situations, journaling to track thoughts and emotions, and reframing negative thought patterns into more balanced perspectives. Sessions often integrate relaxation strategies and mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation and stress management. Techniques are selected based on each individual’s goals and developmental needs.
