Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in San Antonio, TX

I draw from several theories, namely CBT (which works with how our thoughts affects our emotions and behavior), ACT (which focuses on acceptance), and Solution-Focused Therapy (which helps us to find and amplify client strengths).
Being a teenager or young adult has always been difficult, but recently it seems impossible to emerge from adolescence with a stable self-esteem, healthy peer relationships, and long-term goals. I assure you it is possible - some of us just need additional support. Over my last four years working with teen and young adult clients, I have met with students in middle and elementary schools struggling with general anxiety to self-harming behaviors. I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for every client so that they feel seen, heard, and capable to become the kind of person they want to be.

I utilize evidence-based therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Holistic therapy to empower individuals going through different life situations to live in the moment, develop healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
In a world that demands more than you feel you can give, it's easy to lose sight of your own strength. The weight of your past experiences and challenges may have shaken your confidence, making even small decisions feel overwhelming. If you're struggling to see a path forward or feeling stuck in hopelessness, know that these emotions are a natural response to our high-pressure world. Yet beneath these doubts lies your inherent worth – a unique spirit waiting to reconnect with its potential. Together, we can help you rediscover your value and share it with those who matter most.

Using a combination of DBT, CBT, and weekly therapeutic skills and strategies homework, I help these teens acknowledge their emotions and struggles and get to the root
No one seems to understand what you’re going through. It feels like everyone wants something different from you, and no one cares what you want for yourself. Your parents tell you to act like an adult, but then they treat you like a child. Every decision you make feels like it will have a massive impact on your future. Each day at school, you’re forced to navigate a social minefield of potential embarrassment and rejection. You’re constantly torn between who people want you to be and who you actually are. Trying to juggle friendships, dating, grades, parents, and teachers, all while trying to find yourself, is just too much.

I serve adults and teens with a variety of mental health symptoms by implementing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy and other holistic approaches.
Alleviating symptoms while providing an increase in positive thoughts and feelings is a holistic focus towards wellbeing. We may feel stress, frustration, anger, or fear that can cause our lives to become unbalanced. Guiding clients to explore and identify problems while searching for solutions will empower individuals to take control of their lives. Additionally, practicing techniques in finding meaning, gratitude, and hope can influence a person’s sense of confidence in things that are difficult to manage or control. Understanding ourselves may be the hardest thing to do, yet alone, communicate what is really going on.

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.
