Cognitive Behavioral therapy

Rewire Your Thoughts. Reshape Your Life.

CBT Therapy for Lasting Change – Online & In-Person in CA, OR & IA

Your thoughts shape your feelings—and your feelings shape your actions. When unhelpful patterns take over, it can feel like you're stuck in a loop you can’t escape. That’s where Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) comes in.

At Amber McKinney-Morgan Therapy, we use CBT to help you break cycles of anxiety, depression, and self-doubt while addressing the deeper emotional and relational roots underneath. Whether you're navigating personal growth or high-pressure professional roles, CBT offers clear tools for reclaiming your peace and purpose.

What is CBT Therapy?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that focuses on the connection between your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It's one of the most researched—and effective—forms of therapy for a wide range of issues, including:

  • Anxiety and panic disorders

  • Depression and low self-worth

  • Perfectionism and imposter syndrome

  • Trauma-related thoughts and hypervigilance

  • Phobias and obsessive-compulsive patterns

  • Relationship and communication struggles

  • Chronic stress and burnout

What Makes CBT with Amber Different

You’re not here for a worksheet-only approach—and neither are we. As a seasoned therapist trained in CBT plus EMDR, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing, I offer more than just surface-level symptom relief. We integrate cognitive strategies with body awareness, emotional regulation, and deeper parts work to create sustainable transformation.

Our CBT sessions are:

✔️ Client-led, not cookie-cutter
✔️ Collaborative and empowering
✔️ Tailored for high-functioning adults and professionals
✔️ Grounded in neuroscience and nervous system regulation

The CBT Process: What to Expect

In our work together, you’ll learn to:

  • Identify distorted thinking patterns

  • Replace negative self-talk with accurate, compassionate beliefs

  • Practice behavior shifts that reinforce emotional health

  • Build emotional resilience for long-term change

We work at your pace, integrating deeper trauma healing or relational work as needed.
