Ever feel like anxiety is running the show, turning small worries into a full-blown storm? You’re not alone, and the good news is you can take back control with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). As a clinical psychologist in Lebanon, I’ve seen how this evidence-based approach helps people—adults, teens, even kids—manage anxiety, whether it’s about work, relationships, or that nagging “what if” voice. CBT is like rewiring your mind’s software. It starts by noticing those racing thoughts—like “I’ll fail this presentation”—and asking, “Is that really true?” Often, it’s not. Together, we’d challenge that thought with evidence (e.g., your past successes) and swap it for something kinder, like “I’m prepared, and I can handle it.” It’s practical, not magic, and it works. Studies show CBT can reduce anxiety symptoms by up to 50% in just a few months when practiced regularly. Try this at home: Next time anxiety creeps in, pause for a minute. Write down the worry, then jot three things that prove it wrong. It’s a small step, but it builds a habit of seeing life more clearly. For deeper struggles—like PTSD or panic attacks—CBT offers tools like exposure to face fears gradually, always at your pace. Whether in-person or online, I tailor it to you, helping you feel steadier day by day. Anxiety doesn’t have to define you. With CBT, you can learn to surf those waves instead of drowning in them.
