What is Behavioral Therapy?
Behavioral therapy, in simple terms, is a form of treatment that can help change behaviors by focusing on how a person thinks. Most people associate behavioral therapy with counseling (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy), but it also can take place outside of an office setting. More specifically, behavioral therapy is an umbrella term for any kind of psychotherapy or counseling that doesn’t focus on changing emotions or attitudes. Instead, its goal is to change behavior (more specifically, undesired behaviors). Common types of behavioral therapies include exposure therapy and response prevention/habit reversal training.

How does Behavioral Therapy work?
Behavior therapy can come in many different forms, but at its core, it’s a structured way of helping you understand your environment and how to best deal with it. Whether you have obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, or an eating disorder, a therapist who specializes in behavior therapy will help teach you how to change your thoughts, feelings, and actions.
Over time, these patterns will become more ingrained into your lifestyle as part of your everyday routine—without having to rely on medication or other types of behavioral therapy. This is known as habituation—the concept that people can train themselves to react differently when exposed to something that previously triggered negative emotions or self-destructive behaviors.
What are the benefits of Behavioral Therapy?
For many, behavioral therapy can be an incredibly helpful method of dealing with various intellectual issues. In general, behavior therapists help individuals achieve their goals by teaching them new behaviors as well as helping them adjust to negative behaviors or thoughts. This can be done in a number of ways, but one popular technique is through positive reinforcement, which uses rewards and points to influence positive actions.
Who can get Behavioral Therapy?
Behavioral therapy can be used to treat almost any mental or emotional condition, from anxiety disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to more serious conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse, insomnia, and even phobias. In some cases, behavioral therapy is also a great alternative to taking medications that can cause unpleasant side effects. For example, studies have shown that behavior therapy alone is just as effective as medication for treating mild to moderate depression, even though it’s not as widely available or well-known as antidepressants. Both methods are equally safe and work best when combined with other treatments like talk therapy.
