View profileCognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a structured form of psychotherapy. It helps people understand the links between thoughts, emotions, body sensations and behaviors. A therapist helps the client identify patterns that maintain distress, then build more useful ways to respond. CBT is not about forced positive thinking. It is about testing thoughts, changing habits and learning practical tools.
CBT may support people dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, phobias, social anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, insomnia, low self-esteem, stress and burnout. The therapist adapts the work to the client’s goals, symptoms, history and level of stability.
A CBT session often focuses on a recent situation. The therapist and client may map the trigger, automatic thought, emotion, body sensation, behavior and consequence. This makes the cycle clearer. It also shows where a different response may help. For example, a person may learn to reduce avoidance, question catastrophic thoughts, face feared situations gradually, plan helpful activities or reduce reassurance seeking.
CBT often includes between-session practice. These tasks are not meant to create pressure. They are small experiments that help the client test new skills in real life. Exercises may include thought records, behavioral experiments, exposure steps, activity planning, sleep routines, communication practice or problem-solving.
CBT can also work alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Meditation or Sleep Therapy. Some clients need a very practical plan. Others need more time to explore emotions, beliefs, trauma history or relationship patterns.
Before starting, ask the therapist about their CBT training, session structure, use of exercises, online availability and how progress will be reviewed. CBT does not replace emergency support or medical care when these are needed, but it can offer a clear and practical way to understand symptoms and create sustainable change.
Finding help in Berlin that works in English or another language can take time, so many people start their search for CBT with a private, verified professional. Sessions set clear goals and use practical tools such as thought records, behavioural experiments and exercises between sessions.
Each profile shows whether sessions take place in person in Berlin or online, together with the languages and the fee. If you plan to claim the cost from a German or international insurer, ask which qualifications it accepts; therapists provide invoices you can submit. A first session is a chance to discuss your goals and decide together whether CBT is the right approach for you.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, goal-oriented therapy that looks at how thoughts, emotions and behaviours influence each other. You learn to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to test new ways of acting, often with exercises between sessions. It is one of the most researched forms of psychotherapy.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often used for concerns such as Anxiety, Burnout, Depression, Insomnia, OCD, and OCD (Obsessive-compulsive disorder).
The therapy page also shows which therapists on MIT currently offer this approach.
A first session usually focuses on understanding what brings you to therapy, what you want to change, and whether the therapist’s style feels like a good fit.
You do not need to prepare anything perfect in advance. It is normal to start with questions, uncertainty, or mixed feelings.
This depends on your goals, the complexity of what you are dealing with, and how structured the approach is. Some people use this therapy for short-term focused work, while others stay longer for deeper change.
Availability depends on the therapist. On MIT, you can check the therapist cards and profile pages to see whether online sessions are offered.
Fees vary by therapist. When no live therapist prices are available yet, the usual range for this therapy is around €80–€150 per session.
Start by reading the therapist’s profile, experience, languages, online/in-person availability, and approach. Then check whether the person works with the kind of issue you want help with.
A good fit is often about both expertise and how safe, understood, and comfortable you feel with the therapist.
Yes. MIT profiles can include direct messaging, and therapists can also activate online booking when available.
This helps patients ask practical questions before committing to a first session.
That is very common. You can start by contacting a therapist, explaining what you are struggling with, and asking whether this approach fits your goals.
MIT currently lists 1 therapist for this therapy, so you can compare different profiles before deciding.
Both are possible, depending on the therapist. Some therapists on My International Therapy receive clients in person in Berlin, others work online by secure video, and many offer both.

Yes. Many therapists in the network work in English, and others in German, Russian, Ukrainian and further languages. You can browse English-speaking, German-speaking, Russian-speaking and Ukrainian-speaking therapists in Berlin, and every profile lists the languages spoken.
Statutory health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung) covers psychotherapy with licensed psychotherapists who have a contract with the insurance funds, but waiting times of several months are common. Many international residents therefore start with a private therapist and pay directly. Private health insurance and some supplementary or expat policies reimburse part of the sessions, depending on the therapist’s qualification: check your contract. Therapists provide invoices you can submit to your insurer.
Each therapist sets their own fee, which is shown on their profile. As a guide, most individual approaches on this site are listed between €80 and €180 per session, couples and family therapy between €120 and €220, and coaching, career counselling or parenting support between €70 and €130. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes.
Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone close to you is in danger, call 112. The Telefonseelsorge offers free, anonymous support 24/7 on 0800 111 0 111 or 0800 111 0 222.
The relationship with your therapist matters as much as the method. Compare profiles for the approach used, the topics they work with, the languages, the format and the fee. If you are unsure where to start, describe what you are going through and we will suggest therapists who suit your needs. The first session is also a chance to see whether the fit feels right.
