You don’t have to keep playing out the same old script. CBT shows you how to break the depressive cycle and rewrite your story. It’s your fresh opportunity to reconnect you with the best version of yourself.
Don’t wait too long. Your journey begins as soon as you’re ready to reach out.
Ready to feel in control of your life again?
You’re tired but can’t get quality rest. Completing daily tasks is a slog, and talking to people is the last thing you want to do. You want to be there for your loved ones but your energy is zero. Depression can make every little thing feel exhausting. You keep trying, but can’t seem to find any solution.
There’s an easier way to navigate your life.
Depression might help us avoid other pain, like fear or failure, but it comes at a cost. When trying to stay safe makes us isolate from friends, takes the joy out of our passion, and convinces us that we’re not good enough, it becomes worse than the ‘danger’ we try to avoid.
You are enough. Depression makes you think otherwise.
When you find yourself thinking:
With all these thoughts, it makes sense to feel hopeless. Imagine not having to think those exhausting thoughts everyday. That’s where CBT helps. CBT for depression teaches you better ways to address the deeply engrained beliefs that make you feel like crap. You learn tools and strategies to challenge these thinking habits and prove the incessant inner critic wrong. Spoiler alert: Most of those beliefs are simply not true. You can continue to believe lies if you’d like, but I’d like to help you practice ways to find objective, believable, and positive truths that will balance your mood and increase positive emotions.
I’m Denis Barron, your guide to feeling better about your life
No matter what your depression says, you deserve to live a life you feel good about. I’m here to help you rediscover the side of yourself that enjoys being you. As your cognitive behavioral therapist, I’ll work closely with you to identify the parts of your life that have caused and perpetuate depression, and help you clear away those things that no longer serve you.
CBT is a light in the dark, helping you take the most helpful next step.
Sometimes it takes one too many days in the dark to realize that we need a little help. The good news is that once you decide you deserve support, things start getting better pretty quickly. After taking the most important step by reaching out, my role as your CBT therapist is to help you strategize the next steps by making a plan for success. We’ll get the ball rolling from session one, and watch together as your life starts looking brighter each day.
CBT is a proven strategy for overcoming anxiety and living the life you deserve to live. It’s a practical toolkit of skills that help you tackle doubt, worry, and rumination so that you have more room in your life for joy and fulfillment. Through CBT you’ll:
Experience joy and connection again
Be a creator in your life
Trust yourself
Take charge of your emotional life
You’ve spent long enough in the passenger seat. CBT empowers you to be the one in charge of your life path and focus on what’s really important.
Experience a version of yourself that isn’t overshadowed by depression
You may have felt safe in your depression. It may have helped you avoid the uncertainty of life. But too long spent in that darkness makes it hard to live a meaningful life. The good news is that therapy can target the habits, patterns, and beliefs that perpetuate your sadness.
You are the pilot, CBT is your control panel.
CBT is designed to help you see through your limiting beliefs. With practical tools, profound insight, and new ways of doing things, you’ll start noticing a difference from day one. It’s not a ‘different’ version of yourself, it’s the version of yourself that exists without the weight of sadness and exhaustion bringing you down. It’s the calmer, confident version of yourself that’s been waiting for you to remember and reconnect with it.
Learn to prioritize what matters
Small Steps, Big Changes
When we try to criticize ourselves out of depression, we end up feeling overwhelmed and sink right back down. In CBT, we don’t try to fix everything all at once. We focus on small steps that lead to gradual progress. We use achievable goals to build confidence and momentum and create real change.
It won’t be long before life feels lighter, brighter, and more engaging.
The skills you learn in CBT will help you for the rest of your life. Therapy is a chance to learn and practice these skills under professional guidance, but once you get the hang of it you’ll need less and less guidance and feel confident to face any challenge that comes your way, whether it’s depression, stress, anxiety, or big life changes. When that happens, our work together is done!

4 Ending
We are ready to end once you feel “condent enough” in practicing methods outside of session to reach your goals. You’ve seen measurable progress toward your goals, and things are looking better.
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.
