John Perry
Counselor/Therapist, Resident in Counseling, MA, NCC
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effectively applied in therapy sessions for individuals with autism to address cognitive and behavioral challenges. I often focus on identifying and modifying maladaptive thought patterns, fostering emotional regulation, and improving social skills. By emphasizing cognitive restructuring and behavioral interventions, CBT offers a structured and goal-oriented approach to help individuals with autism navigate social interactions and manage stressors more effectively.
