Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on changing negative patterns of thoughts and behaviors. The approach is based on the idea that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and that negative thoughts can lead to negative behaviors and emotions. At Grouport Therapy, we provide group therapy sessions over Zoom through many modalities, including CBT, for clients who experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma.
CBT typically involves a structured, short-term approach that focuses on the present and is goal-oriented. In CBT, the therapist and client work together to identify negative thoughts and behaviors contributing to mental health problems and develop strategies for changing them.
Research suggests that cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be as effective remotely, including over Zoom, as when delivered in person. Studies have found that CBT delivered through remote methods, such as video conferencing, email, or text messaging, can result in significant improvements in symptoms of anxiety and depression.
A systematic review of remote CBT for depression and anxiety found that remote delivery of CBT was associated with clinically significant improvements in symptoms and that there was no significant difference in outcomes between remote CBT and in-person CBT. Another review of studies found that video conferencing-based CBT effectively reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
It is worth noting that the effectiveness of remote CBT may depend on several factors, such as the type of mental health condition being treated, the quality of the video conferencing technology, and the individual's level of comfort with the technology. Some individuals prefer in-person therapy, while others find remote therapy more convenient or accessible.
While some adjustments may be required when delivering CBT remotely, research suggests it can be an effective and convenient alternative to traditional in-person therapy for many individuals.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can be adapted to be delivered over Zoom calls or other video conferencing platforms. Here are some tips for practicing CBT over Zoom.
It is essential to create a comfortable and private setting for the therapy session, whether you are the therapist or the client. Ensure you have a quiet space where you can talk without interruption, and ensure your camera is positioned to show your face and body language clearly.
During a CBT session, therapists may use worksheets or other materials to help guide the session. In a virtual setting, screen sharing can be used to review these materials with the client. The therapist can send the worksheets ahead of time or share their screen during the session.
In some cases, therapists may use a whiteboard or drawing tool to help illustrate concepts or exercises. These tools can be accessed through Zoom or other video conferencing platforms, allowing the therapist to draw and write on the screen in real time.
CBT often involves homework assignments that the client can work on between sessions. Therapists can provide these resources through email or other virtual platforms to ensure the client can access the materials they need to practice the skills they are learning.
If privacy is a concern, therapists or clients can use a virtual background to create a more private environment. Many video conferencing platforms offer virtual backgrounds that can be used to create a more professional or private setting.
Overall, while CBT sessions over Zoom may require some adjustments to traditional in-person therapy sessions, they can be just as effective in helping individuals manage their mental health and develop new coping skills.
