Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Fort Worth, TX
In our initial sessions, we'll explore the challenges you're facing and develop a personalized plan to address them using evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness.
As a Black Female Therapist, I bring my intersecting identities into this work with care and purpose, centering Black women and those who serve our communities (i.e. helping professionals, ministry workers, community leaders) and need deeper support. Many come feeling overwhelmed by racial and gender-based stress, trauma, burnout, and the weight of constantly showing up for others. They are often seeking a space where they can finally exhale and be cared for. Through a trauma-informed, culturally grounded approach, I support them in processing their experiences, strengthening boundaries and reconnecting with themselves.

Are 90% of your thoughts during any given day focused on what I'm going to eat or how long can I go without eating or I will start dieting and exercising tomorrow followed by the usual self-hate and negative self-talk.

What if your exhaustion isn't from doing too much, but from carrying what was never yours? What if your nervous system learned survival before it learned rest? Are you the dependable one—the helper, caregiver, achiever, or peacekeeper—silently managing stress, anxiety, grief, guilt, or burnout? Many of my clients learned early that love and worth came through responsibility, sacrifice, loyalty, or achievement. They carry invisible legacy roles into relationships, leadership, and caregiving. Guilt shows up when you outgrow expectations. Sometimes grief isn’t just about loss it’s the quiet mourning of the needs that went unmet.

Therapy for Neurodivergent Individuals & Caregivers Ready for Real Support Beyond Coping!

With older clients I use a solution-focused therapy approach (as mentioned above) with an occasional cognitive-behavioral flavor (gently challenging negative thoughts) or narrative therapy (hearing your “story”).
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” I love this saying. It makes the unreachable seem reachable--if even one small step at a time. As long as you’re making a step--no matter how small--in the right direction, you’re making progress. If you continue long enough, you will see a difference. I use this approach, coupled with solution-focused therapy, in how I work with clients. Together, we’ll make what you want a reality. We’ll take the small step approach (although big steps are fine, too!) and utilize the strengths you already have.

As depression, anxiety, grief, and other mental health issues get bigger, our lives get smaller. They weigh us down, isolate us, and make even simple things seem difficult. Frustration, shame, and confusion from the constant struggle can add to the weight we are already carrying. Friends and loved ones may inadvertently make things worse by offering advice or trying to make us feel better. We put off seeking help because we feel guilty, embarrassed, or don’t want to burden people (especially when we are the "Strong" one who usually helps others). It can happen to anyone. The good news is that treatment works and therapy helps!

Healing doesn't have to be polished to be powerful. Things may seem dark. If you're feeling broken or like your relationships are beyond repair, you're not alone, and you don't have to figure this out on your own. Many of the people I work with feel like they are carrying too much- grief, trauma, emotional responsibility, or the weight of having to hold it all together. They've spent years adapting to relationships that didn't work, and they are ready to try something different. I help clients navigate their darkest moments, providing tools to rebuild their lives and relationships and find a way forward.

I am very interested in all that has been gained in the area of the brain and trauma research in the last decade and the new ways we have of approaching trauma as well as those troublesome unconscious patterns that drive us. These patterns very often leave us stuck without us even knowing it! Each person has huge untapped potential in reservoirs of which they are sometimes simply unaware. A situation that seems impossible can be infused with new creativity and that produces a very different type of response. Even telling the story is healing - a relief in itself.

How often do you find yourself thinking of what could have been? Perhaps it's not what could have been but something you should have done differently? Or maybe it's more about the future for you, all the what ifs? Do these journeys into the past and future leave you feeling guilty, frustrated or filled with fear? I work to ground my clients in the here and now, accepting what is as opposed to what could be. I aim to help individuals reach their goals by building self-awareness and self-compassion.

I assist my clients with various therapeutic approaches, including a combination of cognitive behavioral, strength based/solution focused, client centered, EMDR, Brainspotting and Neurofeedback brain training.
Experiencing hurdles in life such as challenging relationships, family life issues and concerns about the direction of your career are normal, but can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or angry. So many of our problems come down to not having enough insight into how our minds work; what we want, what we fear, why we act the way we do, and why we are overwhelmed by certain feelings. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my job is to facilitate finding those answers.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists
How does cognitive behavioral therapy work?
Cognitive behavioral therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophizing or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioral therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioral therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioral therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
