You deserve to wake up feeling good about yourself. CBT therapy is all approaching old problems with new tools to get better outcomes. Building real, tangible skills to overcome the tough times instead of talking about and admiring problems so you can live the life you want to live.
When you’re ready to transform worry and doubt into confidence and self-worth, CBT is here to help. Reach out today to bring out the best version of yourself.
Anxiety is overwhelming until we learn how to master it.
Are you sick of feeling:
The future is brighter than your expectations about it.
The more we predict the worst, the more anxiety we feel, and life becomes an exhausting cycle of self-defeat. The good news? It doesn’t have to be like that forever.
From Worried and Tense To Calm and Confident
When all you want is to enjoy the moment, free from worry, living with anxiety is frustrating. Instead of appreciating the small things, enjoying a delicious meal or spending quality time with loved ones, anxiety occupies the mind, putting us on high alert for the next problem.
Anxiety doesn’t have to control your life. There is a better way.
You’ve had enough of anxiety showing up in your body, your relationships, and your work life. It’s time to get to the roots and change anxiety’s limiting narrative. You deserve to feel calm and confident in yourself, not worried to the point of depression.
It’s time to gain the upper hand.
I’m Denis Barron, your San Francisco-based CBT therapist. I understand how overwhelming it is to battle with your mind daily. My work is all about helping you gain clarity and confidence in yourself so you can live a more fulfilling life.
Life gets easier when we learn how to self-regulate.
No longer do you have to question every decision. No longer do you have to avoid people and places just to feel safe. You can take charge of your emotional life. You can learn to respond instead of react.
Schedule a consultation to learn more about how CBT can transform your life from the inside out.
You’re tired of the same thing over and over
Transform your outlook with cognitive reframing
Replace: ‘I’m going to mess up this presentation, like I always do’
With: ‘I can’t predict the future. I’ve prepared as much as I can, and I’m capable of meeting this challenge as I’ve met many challenges in the past’
Replace: ‘If I don’t do well I’ll be a total failure’
With: ‘Being a total failure is just a thought. If I don’t do well, I will probably be upset, yes. But I’m doing overall well in life actually, and worst case scenario, I will have another thing to work on. I’m not someone who expects life to be easy. With risk comes reward.’’
Replace: ‘What if something embarrassing happens?’
With: ‘No matter what happens I know how to stay grounded. I’ll survive.’
Master ready-to-use coping skills and rise up to challenges
When a work meeting makes your heart pound and your mind race, you’ll apply cognitive tools to feel anchored and present.
If a wave of panic hits you in a harmless situation, like standing in line at the grocery store, CBT can help you stand your ground. You’ll return the present and show your brain there’s no danger.
Build confidence one brick at a time
Navigate problems with confidence and clarity
Career uncertainty: CBT empowers you to make decisions with ease by breaking the process down into smaller, actionable steps. Big choices become less daunting.
Relationship conflict: Approach conflict and avoidance with calm, constructive conversation.
Social Anxiety: Build confidence through changing negative and inaccurate thoughts and making behavioral changes. Prove your positive thoughts right instead.
Life transitions: CBT helps you adapt to unexpected changes and challenges, whether it’s a break-up, a job change, or a big move.
What to expect from CBT therapy
Discover the real you
A big part of my work is helping you realize that you’re not broken. You’re not beyond help. It’s possible to break free from anxiety’s grip on your life.
Anxiety doesn’t have to last forever.
The confident, collected version of you is still here, but it may have taken a back seat behind the anxiety that seems to be driving your life. CBT therapy is a practical way to rebuild your confidence and start making decisions based on what you want, not what you want to avoid.
A life free from anxiety and dread
When anxiety doesn’t hold you back anymore, you’ll feel more connected to yourself and the people in your life. You’ll meet each day with openness and spontaneity instead of rigidity and fear. You’ll feel more peace of mind, and embrace new opportunities you once would have shied away from.
You don’t have to feel stuck anymore.
Life should be fulfilling. It’s not always easy to get there, but with the right help you can work toward meaningful change and finally feel like life is going your way.

It’s of utmost importance to feel as though you are truly heard and understood before any tools or techniques can be effective.
I welcome folks from all different backgrounds and walks of life and have unconditional positive regard for all clients.
Let’s proceed at a pace you are comfortable with and is effective, while knowing that therapy should not be forever. My hope is for you to learn life long tools that you can apply to whatever challenges life should throw at you.
I draw from theories and techniques that have been studied and demonstrated to be effective in reducing emotional difficulties.
I work to be sure you understand exactly what we are doing in our work together and why, so you can replicate these results on your own. I am but a temporary person on your journey.
