Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors. At Psychologist Swapna Salunke’s psychology practice in Viman Nagar and Kharadi, Pune, CBT is delivered with empathy, expertise, and a personalized approach to support lasting emotional well-being.

How Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy Works

CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Many emotional difficulties are influenced not just by situations, but by how we perceive and respond to them. Through CBT, clients learn to:

• Recognize negative or distorted thinking patterns
• Develop healthier ways of thinking and coping
• Replace unhelpful behaviors with positive, constructive actions
• Build practical skills to manage daily challenges more effectively

This therapy is goal-oriented, collaborative, and focused on creating meaningful changes in a client’s present life.
