Meet our psychologists
What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a recognized and well-documented method used widely in psychological treatment. The therapy is based on the cognitive model, which explains the connection between your thoughts (cognitions), emotions, bodily reactions, and behavior. For many people, this structure and clarity are helpful—others combine it with other psychological approaches, which is also possible with us.
In cognitive therapy, we work together to:
- Identify negative thought patterns that arise automatically.
- Challenge the truth value of thoughts and find more appropriate interpretations.
- Change behavior through exposure and concrete exercises that gradually break down fear and avoidance.
This structured and targeted approach ensures that you gain not only insight but also the agency to eventually become your own cognitive therapist.
Broad Application
Our cognitive psychologists in Hillerød use CBT for the effective treatment of adults, adolescents, and children.
The method is particularly effective for:
- Anxiety and panic anxiety: Help with challenging catastrophic thoughts and breaking avoidance behavior.
- Depression: Identification of negative thinking and help with reactivating positive actions.
- Stress: Managing worries and demands by changing your cognitions about the situation.
- OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): Treatment through exposure and response prevention (ERP) to break down obsessive thoughts and actions.
- Low self-esteem: Exploration and correction of negative assumptions about yourself.
The treatment is tailored to your goals, and you will receive concrete tools from every session. It can often be effective to combine the method with elements from other therapeutic approaches. We always focus on you and your wishes for the therapy. Together, we will find what works for you.
An approach that can be combined
When you choose cognitive therapy at Psykologhuset Enigma, you choose an evidence-based and practically oriented method—but not a method that stands alone. We highly value collaboration and gladly integrate elements from other therapeutic traditions if it strengthens your development. Cognitive therapy helps you achieve three central results: Clarity, where you gain insight into how your thoughts drive your emotions and behavior; Control, where you learn to manage your attention and relate differently to negative thoughts; and lasting change, where you gain tools to handle future challenges so you can live a life in accordance with your values.
