How long does cognitive behavioral therapy take to help depression and anxiety?

Fairly fast: Cbt typically is designed to be self-limiting, usually 12-16 sessions. Patients often start feeling better within a few weeks, but the full course of treatment is highly recommended to help cement the techniques learned and provide continued support as the depression lifts.

PSYCHOTHERAPY: You are unique and if you decide your cbt isn't helping please consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy.
