Find Oregon therapists who practice Cognitive Behavioral (CBT).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the most-researched form of psychotherapy in the world — the gold standard for anxiety, depression, OCD, panic disorder, insomnia, and many trauma presentations. As of April 2026, 5,808 Oregon therapists on this directory practice CBT. 4,997 offer telehealth (CBT translates well to virtual format), 1,688 accept Oregon Health Plan, 34 offer sliding-scale fees, and 168 are currently accepting new clients. CBT is structured, time-limited, and focused on the present — most clients see meaningful change in 12–20 weekly sessions. The work targets the specific thoughts, behaviors, and physical patterns that maintain distress, rather than excavating childhood. CBT branches include Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for trauma, Exposure-and-Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Behavioral Activation for depression, and CBT-I for insomnia.

As a therapist, I have complicated feelings about artificial intelligence. When AI became widely available, I was both fascinated and uneasy. Like a lot of people, I wondered where it would take us.
