How does CBT therapy help with anxiety?

Have you ever sent a text, not received a response, and immediately thought, “They’re upset with me”?

That one thought can lead to anxiety, overthinking, and the urge to withdraw—even when you don’t know what the other person is thinking.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps us explore the connection between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

In CBT, we practice:
🌿 Noticing automatic thought patterns
🌿 Questioning assumptions and considering other perspectives
🌿 Choosing responses that better support our well-being

The goal isn’t to force positive thinking. It’s to build a more flexible relationship with our thoughts and recognize that a thought isn’t always a fact.

At Prism Therapy, we offer relational, culturally responsive, and LGBTQIA+-affirming therapy for individuals in Los Angeles and California.

If anxiety, overthinking, or relationship patterns are affecting your life, therapy can help you explore new ways of responding.
