Your conversations become your match.

Everything you tell Abby, what loops you run, how you like to work, when you’re available, becomes the search. You never fill out a form.

Good to know

CBT, explained.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is the most researched approach in the field. Here is how it actually works.

The core ideaThoughts, feelings, and actions run in a loop: change one deliberately and the others follow. CBT teaches you to catch the automatic thought, test it against reality, and act on the evidence instead of the alarm. Simple to describe, powerful with practice.

What sessions look likeCBT is structured: an agenda, a skill, practice between sessions, and measurable progress. Most courses run 8 to 20 sessions with a clear arc. If you like knowing where you are and what’s next, this is the format that fits.

What it’s best forAnxiety, depression, panic, insomnia, OCD (as ERP), and stress loops have the deepest CBT evidence base. It’s less about archaeology and more about the patterns running today. Plenty of therapists blend CBT with depth work when you want both.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How does Abby match me with a CBT therapist?

You tell Abby what loops you’re stuck in and how you like to work. She learns your style, your goals, and your schedule and budget, then brings you a shortlist of CBT-trained therapists with the reason each one fits.

What is CBT in plain words?

A structured therapy built on one idea: thoughts, feelings, and actions loop into each other, and you can retrain the loop. You learn to catch automatic thoughts, test them, and act on evidence instead of alarm. Skills, practice, progress.

How long does CBT take?

Most CBT courses run 8 to 20 sessions with a defined arc, and many people feel movement in the first month. It’s one of the shorter formats in therapy because the goal is to make you your own therapist.

Is there really homework?

Usually, and it’s the active ingredient: thought records, small experiments, practice reps between sessions. Tell Abby how much structure you want and she’ll match a therapist whose homework style fits you.

Is CBT better than other therapy?

It has the largest evidence base, especially for anxiety and depression, but best depends on you. If you want depth and history work, psychodynamic approaches shine, and many therapists blend both. Abby matches on what fits, not on ideology.

Can I use my insurance?

Tell Abby you want to use insurance and she factors it into the match, along with budget, sliding scale, or self-pay if that’s simpler. You’ll know how a therapist handles payment before you ever book.

Does my therapist see my conversations with Abby?

No. Nothing is shared unless you approve it word for word. If you want, Abby can prepare a short intro about your loops so session one starts warm.
