CBT Therapy in Shrewsbury, MA

CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective approaches for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, emotional overwhelm, and unhelpful thought patterns. It’s a structured, practical form of therapy that helps you notice what’s happening internally, understand why it’s happening, and build new skills for responding in healthier ways.

At The Dragonfly Path, we offer CBT therapy for clients in Shrewsbury, MA, the Worcester area, and surrounding communities. Our goal is to help you gain clarity, feel more grounded, and learn tools you can use every day — not just in the therapy room.

What CBT Can Help With

CBT is effective for a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges, including:

• Anxiety and worry

• Depression or low mood

• Overthinking and intrusive thoughts

• Low self-esteem

• Relationship or communication challenges

• Stress and overwhelm

• ADHD-related patterns

• Emotional reactivity or shutdown

• Avoidance, procrastination, or motivation struggles

• Adjusting to life transitions

CBT is practical, proven, and adaptable — making it a strong fit for many individuals, teens, and young adults.

How CBT Therapy Works

CBT helps you:

• Identify unhelpful thought patterns

• Understand how these patterns influence emotions and behaviors

• Build new ways of thinking that support healthier responses

• Develop coping strategies for difficult moments

• Practice skills that make everyday life easier

• Feel more in control of your thoughts and choices

• Strengthen emotional balance and resilience

It’s a collaborative, skill-building process that empowers you to make meaningful changes — step by step.

Our Approach to CBT

While CBT is one of our core evidence-based methods, we believe therapy must feel personal, supportive, and safe. Our approach includes:

Compassionate, client-centered care

We take time to understand your experiences before introducing any strategies.

Real-life tools and skills

You’ll learn practical techniques you can use between sessions to strengthen progress.

A pace that works for you

CBT doesn’t have to feel fast, intense, or clinical — we tailor it to your comfort.

Integration with other approaches

We blend CBT with other therapeutic methods when needed, creating a personalized plan.

A collaborative process

You and your therapist work as a team, setting goals together and building skills gradually.

What Sessions Look Like

In CBT sessions, you can expect:

• A warm, supportive environment where you can talk openly

• Guidance in understanding your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

• Gentle exploration of patterns that may be keeping you stuck

• Tools for challenging unhelpful beliefs or reactions

• Strategies for coping with anxiety, depression, or stress

• Practical exercises tailored to your goals

• A focus on building confidence and emotional resilience

Many clients appreciate that CBT gives them both emotional insight and actionable steps to create change.

Who This Service Is For

CBT may be a great fit if you:

• Want a structured, practical approach to therapy

• Feel stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break

• Are struggling with anxiety, stress, or negative thoughts
