How Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Nursing Interventions Work

Nursing intervention can be used with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to provide a comprehensive and integrated approach to mental health treatment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of psychotherapy used to treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and others. CBT's premise is that our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are interconnected and that we can change our emotions by changing how we think and behave. 


Finding a healthcare provider with CBT knowledge

Finding a healthcare provider who can provide nursing interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) may depend on the specific healthcare system and location. Here are a few resources that may help in locating a provider.


Healthcare provider directories

Many healthcare systems have directories of providers that can search by location, specialty, or other criteria. These directories may include information about which providers offer nursing interventions and CBT.


Professional organizations

Professional organizations for nurses and mental health providers may have directories of providers or other resources for locating providers who offer nursing interventions and CBT.


Referral from a primary care provider

Primary care providers can provide referrals to mental health providers who offer nursing interventions and CBT.


Online therapy platforms

Several online therapy platforms offer CBT and may also provide access to nurses or other healthcare providers. These platforms may be a good option for individuals unable to access in-person care.


It's important to note that finding the right healthcare provider can be a process of trial and error, and it may take some time to find a provider who is a good fit. It can be helpful to research providers, read reviews, and ask for recommendations from trusted sources.


How do a nursing intervention and CBT work together?

Nursing interventions and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can work together to provide comprehensive care for individuals with mental health conditions. Here are a few ways in which nursing interventions and CBT can complement each other:


Medication management

Nurses may be responsible for managing medication for individuals with mental health conditions, which can be an essential part of treatment. CBT can work with medication management to address underlying thoughts and behaviors that may contribute to mental health problems.


Assessment and monitoring

Nurses may conduct assessments and monitor individuals with mental health conditions to identify changes in symptoms or behaviors. Monitoring can be necessary for tracking progress in CBT and adjusting treatment as needed.


Health education

Nurses can educate individuals with mental health conditions about CBT and the strategies used in the therapy. Education can help individuals feel more comfortable with the therapy and improve their engagement in treatment.


Support and encouragement

Nurses can support and encourage individuals undergoing CBT, which can be essential for maintaining motivation and building a therapeutic relationship. Encouragement can be significant for individuals who may be resistant to therapy or are struggling with mental health conditions that can make engagement in therapy challenging.


Nursing interventions and CBT can work together to provide a comprehensive and holistic approach to mental health treatment. By combining medication management, assessment and monitoring, health education, and support and encouragement, individuals can receive the care they need to manage their mental health conditions and improve their overall well-being.
