Types of Individual Therapy
Correct Answer: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT),
solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing.
1. CBT: focus on modifying maladaptive thoughts to change emotions/behaviors; structured, time-limited.
ACT: mindfulness-based, acceptance of thoughts, commitment to values-based action. Solution-focused
therapy: goal-oriented, focuses on solutions rather than problems. Motivational interviewing: client-
centered style for resolving ambivalence about behavior change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – core concepts
Correct Answer: Based on the idea that thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected.
Changing maladaptive thoughts can influence emotions and behaviors. Focuses on identifying and
modifying negative thought patterns (cognitive distortions). Structured, goal-oriented, and often
time-limited.
1. Cognitive triad (Beck): negative views of self, world, future. Automatic thoughts are rapid, evaluative
cognitions underlying emotional distress.
2. Evidence base: CBT is first-line for anxiety disorders, depression, PTSD, OCD, eating disorders,
substance use disorders, chronic pain, insomnia.
