Abstract

This case study investigates the application and effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in enhancing well-being, focusing on a 30-year-old female client referred to as Sarah. Over a 12-week intervention period, CBT techniques were systematically employed to identify, challenge, and modify maladaptive thought patterns and behaviours contributing to Sarah's emotional distress. The study employs a comprehensive approach, including cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and problem-solving techniques. Results indicate significant improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms, as measured by standardized assessments. Qualitative data underscores heightened self-awareness, improved coping skills, and increased self-efficacy. This case study contributes to the understanding of CBT's effectiveness in promoting well-being, highlighting the importance of personalized and goaloriented interventions for individuals experiencing mood and anxiety disorders.
