Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Introducing CBT with Tanisha Mosley

Scenario

Tanisha Mosley is new to therapy and is looking for ways to cut back on her drinking and reduce her stress. Work together with Tanisha and show how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be used to help change her drinking habits.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most used and extensively studied treatments for alcohol use disorders (SUDs). CBT helps people understand and change their emotions and behaviors related to their substance use. Understanding how to apply these skills for a client's individual needs can make a great impact on the client's success.
