Most often I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; otherwise I find Solution-Focused Therapy to be useful.
I'm Chris Hoover. LMFT. I believe therapy should be relaxed, open, and honest, and a learning experience where a client develops skills that will help them for the rest of their life. I've worked with at-risk youth, the seriously and persistently mentally ill, the LGBTQIA community, and people with substance abuse issues, as well as many people dealing with issues adjusting to common life changes and stressors. I work with all types of people. I enjoy helping people work through depression and anxiety, helping clients manage their school or job stress, and helping new parents or married couples adapt to the changes in their lives.

I have experience working with clients who have struggled with life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and grief using CBT and mindfulness strategies.
Feeling overwhelmed? Are you struggling with finding balance in your life? You might be feeling like whatever you do isn’t good enough. Maybe you’ve tried everything but still feel stuck. Maybe you’re scared to move outside of your comfort zone. We all have our go-to coping skills but sometimes we reach a point in life where those things just don’t work anymore. We are constantly changing, evolving and learning about ourselves. Facing your fears and taking a look at your reality can be anxiety provoking but it can also give you newfound hope that you never thought you had or were capable of finding.

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.
