Answer:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Step-by-step explanation:

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a way of treating certain psychological disorders by pinpointing certain negative thoughts that can affect a person's mental health and employing methods to overcome those thoughts. These negative thoughts cause changes in a person's mood and could even exacerbate depression. The psychotherapist tries to resolve these negative thoughts by employing methods such as mental distractions, journaling and relaxation techniques to change these patterns of thinking.

The types of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies we have are, Dialectical behavioral therapy, Cognitive therapy, Rational emotive behavior therapy, and Multimodal therapy.
