View resources for our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Anxiety and Depression event, featuring trans therapist Lane DiFlavis, LCSW (he/him)! CBT is a form of therapy that helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on their behavior and emotions. This is done through learning coping skills, problem solving, and more. Lane will guide members to reflect on their own experiences, discuss practical approaches for anxiety and depression from a CBT lens, and answer questions from the Plume community.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an effective and accessible method for supporting your mental health. CBT helps you notice thought patterns that are negative or harmful to you so that you can change the way you respond to them. This clinically-reviewed blog explains what CBT is and how it can help you get relief from symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Although we can’t always control our thoughts, CBT teaches us how to control our thinking—how we respond to our thoughts! Read further for practical exercises to use for mental wellness and trans and nonbinary people.
