CBT-informed Care Available Online



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, skills-based approach that helps people recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used to address anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and mood-related concerns by teaching concrete coping strategies and problem-solving techniques that can reduce distress over time.

Gilbert approaches therapy as a collaborative process where the best strategies are chosen together. He will work with each client to understand their concerns, clarify goals, and adapt CBT tools or related techniques to suit the individual's needs and preferences. Finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the journey and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and accessibility for those with differing routines. These options allow for consistent contact and the ability to practice skills between sessions while accommodating location and time constraints.
