Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Calgary

There are many different forms of CBT, including: 

• CBT for Insomnia
• Mindfulness-Based CBT
• CBT for Trauma
• And more…

Each model offers practical tools that help clients quickly address issues like anxiety and stress. At Conscientia Counselling in Calgary, we often begin therapy with CBT because it equips clients with tools to manage their symptoms and function effectively in daily life. 

However, we don’t stop at symptom management. Once CBT helps stabilize the client, we explore deeper issues using other therapeutic modalities. This ensures that we address the root causes of anxiety, depression, or other challenges—not just the surface symptoms. 

CBT counselling helps clients “ride the waves” of anxiety, fear, and depression, providing relief and stability. Once clients reach this point, we may integrate other approaches, such as Interpersonal Therapy or Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), to delve further into the core issues driving their challenges. 

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is our first line of treatment—like the “antibiotics” of therapy. It offers practical, immediate relief, setting the stage for deeper work that leads to lasting change.
