Most of the treatments delivered at CABT are designed to be short-term, but the exact number of sessions depends on two main factors: the exact treatment protocol being used and how frequently clients complete the prescribed homework exercises. The scientifically-supported treatments we offer range typically range from as few as 8 sessions to as many as 35 sessions. You will be given more specific information about which treatment we recommend after you complete the initial evaluation. 

Most of the treatments we deliver at CABT involve meeting individually with your therapist once per week for about 50 minutes. For some treatments, and depending on the needs of a specific client, we may suggest meeting more than once per week or meeting for a 90-minute session.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a scientifically supported approach that helps people by focusing on present challenges rather than exploring the past. Unlike traditional talk therapy, CBT emphasizes building practical skills, practicing exercises, and learning through real-world application. It is an active, collaborative process where the therapist and client work together to overcome obstacles and create meaningful change.

 While the name can sound scary, exposure therapy is a form of CBT where therapists and clients team up to find ways to gradually and systematically confront anxiety to help clients feel less anxious, more confident, and more in control of their own lives. At CABT, all exposure therapy is done collaboratively, with a highly individualized plan to help each client successfully reclaim their lives from their anxiety.

The phone screen is a free, 15-minute phone call where our Intake Team will gather information about you to ensure that we are the right fit to move forward with an evaluation. By the end of the phone screen, you will be given more information about the clinicians who are available to complete that evaluation, the process of scheduling, and the associated costs. The phone screen must be completed by the person looking for treatment. Prospective clients who are 14 years old and above will need to be a part of the phone screen. Phone screens are completed between 9 am and 5 pm. Our goal is to make this call as easy and pressure-free as possible, it's simply a chance to get to know each other.
