Untangle the Thought Loops That Keep You Stuck
Sometimes it feels like your brain won’t turn off. The spiraling. The what-ifs. The “I should’ve known better”s. You might find yourself in the same patterns—overthinking, avoiding, reacting—and not quite sure how to shift them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps you understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—so you can interrupt the cycle instead of getting lost in it.
It’s practical, collaborative, and evidence-based—but at Mended Counseling, we blend it with trauma awareness, cultural sensitivity, and deep compassion. No worksheets unless they help. No rigid frameworks. Just real tools for real life.

• Anxiety and constant overthinking
• Depression and low motivation
• Stress and burnout
• Perfectionism and self-criticism

What a CBT Session Looks Like
CBT isn’t about fixing you. It’s about understanding how your mind works—and helping you create space between the activation and your response.
In sessions, we might:
- Identify recurring thought patterns that impact your mood or behavior
- Explore how beliefs were shaped by life experiences (and whether they still serve you)
- Practice strategies like reframing, grounding, and structured reflection
- Work with tools like journaling, mindfulness, or values-based goal setting
The focus is on building awareness, flexibility, and skills you can take into your everyday life—not just the therapy room.
CBT at Mended
Our approach to CBT is informed by trauma-awareness, cultural context, and deep listening. We know it’s not just about changing your thoughts—it’s about understanding where they came from and what they’re trying to protect.
We bring compassion to the process. We move at your pace. And we make space for the full range of your experience—because healing isn’t linear, and neither are you.
