Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapy at Overcomers

Your thoughts have power! CBT helps you identify negative or unhelpful thinking patterns and learn to replace them with more positive and realistic ones. By changing your thoughts, you can change how you feel and behave. It’s like upgrading your mental software.

Finding a CBT Therapist in Colorado

We believe that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is one of the most effective ways to take your thoughts back from anxiety and depression.

At Overcomers Counseling in Colorado, you'll find that our CBT-trained providers are genuine, practical, and focused on giving you tools you can use right away. The truth is, when you're caught in a cycle of racing anxious thoughts, depression and low motivation, stress that won't let up, panic before big decisions, or harsh self-criticism, your thoughts can start to feel like they're running the show. CBT helps you notice those patterns, question them, and build a healthier relationship with your own mind — one small, practical shift at a time.

Our team of dedicated CBT-trained counselors combines evidence-based technique with genuine clinical care, helping you move from feeling stuck to feeling like yourself again.

Our goal is to help you become the best version of you.

CBT Counseling Services

Don't let anxious or negative thoughts run your life.

Whether you're managing anxiety, working through depression, or just feeling overwhelmed by stress, our CBT therapists in Colorado Springs, Aurora, Pueblo, and Fort Collins use structured, goal-oriented techniques to help you build lasting change.

CBT for Anxiety and Depression

CBT is one of the most researched approaches for anxiety and depression because it targets the thought patterns that keep both conditions going. Your therapist will help you identify distorted thinking — like catastrophizing or all-or-nothing thoughts — and replace it with something more accurate and workable.

  • Evidence-Based Results — CBT is one of the most researched forms of therapy for anxiety and depression.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10

Clarissa Mendez, LCSW
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Clarissa is very professional and caring, she has been a tremendous factor in my cognitive recovery. She is intuitive and her knowledge and skills with concussions has me confident that my therapy with her has brought me back to my previous mindset and I'm no longer fearful, anxious, depressed or judgemental about my car accident and the injuries I suffered. She's truly an asset to have as a resource for not only cognitive issues but just positive social interactions. I Absolutely look forward to our sessions and would highly recommend her.
