Introduction
Cognitive therapy centers on the belief that our thoughts are influenced by how we feel. There are a number of different cognitive therapies, including Cognitive-Behavioral, Reality, Rational Emotive and Transactional Analysis. Each of these cognitive approaches to counseling can help a client through the counseling process, by providing further understanding of the way our thoughts are sometimes distorted.
Cognitive therapy focuses on the present. This means that issues from the past that are influencing current thinking, are acknowledged but not concentrated on. Instead a counselor will work with the client on identifying what is causing distress in present thinking. What links these different forms of cognitive therapy is the way in which the counseling relationship, between a counselor and client, develops.
