DBT Therapy

North Richland Hills, including ZIP codes 76180 and 76182, has a population of about seventy thousand residents, many balancing careers, family responsibilities, and suburban routines. Workplace strain plays a major role in how those pressures show up day to day. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, about 65 percent of U.S. workers surveyed describe their job as a “very significant” or “somewhat significant” source of stress across multiple years. OSHA also reports that 83 percent of workers experience work related stress and 54 percent say it affects their home life, sleep, and mood. Applied to the size of North Richland Hills, that means tens of thousands of adults are likely navigating stress that influences how they think, feel, and function.

​

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, commonly known as CBT, is one of the most studied treatments for these patterns. A large review published in the journal Psychological Medicine found that CBT for adult depression showed an effect size of g = 0.48 (95 percent CI 0.29 to 0.68) compared to other treatments, reflecting measurable improvement for many participants. Another network meta analysis reported that individual CBT achieved effectiveness rates of about 77 percent, with group CBT showing about 90.5 percent in certain clinical trial conditions. While results vary person to person, these findings show that CBT has strong evidence for helping people reduce anxiety, depression, and stress based thinking patterns. When even conservative response rates are applied to the population of NRH, it suggests that thousands of residents could benefit from structured CBT skills delivered by trained therapists.

What distinguishes our CBT approach:

• Local context. We understand how NRH community rhythms influence stress, motivation, and emotional patterns.

• Evidence based treatment. CBT is recommended by national mental health organizations for anxiety, depression, and persistent negative thinking.

• Practical skill building. Sessions focus on identifying thought patterns, challenging cognitive distortions, and adopting new responses that produce measurable improvement.
