a life change guided with trust and care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Respect, care och understanding
At The CognitiveLit you are met with respect, warmth and faith in your inherent potential. I work based on evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and adapt the treatment to your unique needs. The therapy can be adapted based on cognitive functional variations, such as ADHD. Together we explore what lies behind your feelings and take steps towards an everyday life with well-being, meaning and joy.​ ​​
​
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based, and well-documented form of therapy. Its effectiveness is continuously evaluated through randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
​
CBT has its roots in learning psychology and cognitive theory. Learning psychology explains how behaviors are formed and changed, while cognitive theory illustrates how our interpretations give meaning to experiences, influencing our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Tailored therapy
My goal is for you, as a client, to feel secure, heard, and understood. Together, we explore new ways to manage challenges with care and respect for your unique situation. I strive to provide high-quality support through a combination of clear behavioral analysis and effective, evidence-based techniques. The aim is to help you live a life more aligned with your own values and aspirations.
A treatment begins with an assessment. During these sessions, we discuss the issues you are seeking help for, your life situation, and other factors important for understanding the bigger picture. Treatment begins only when we mutually agree it feels right, it is essential that you feel understood and safe in the therapeutic process.​
Effective results
A typical treatment consists of 5–20 sessions, depending on your needs. For specific concerns, we focus on the present and the future. For more complex issues, past experiences are also explored to understand how they shape current patterns. Between sessions, clients are often given homework to help translate new insights into everyday life.
​CBT has proven effectiveness for mental health challenges. We work with measurable goals and concrete treatment outcomes. For example, if you are seeking help for low self-esteem, a goal might be to speak in front of a group or take initiative in social situations. Treatment can be adapted for neuropsychiatric variations such as ADHD. Click the arrow to read more about mental health.​
