It is useful for building self-understanding and tackling issues like low self-esteem and identity questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood and functioning. CBT offers concrete exercises and steps to change unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress management.
