Kevin Cornelius, LMFT explains one of his go-to therapeutic models, TEAM CBT. In his work with the Feel Good Institute, he employs this model of therapy with his clients.
TEAM CBT is an integrative approach that combines elements of CBT with additional techniques to enhance the effectiveness of therapy. Here's a breakdown of each component:
Testing: In this phase, the therapist helps the individual identify their negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to their emotional distress. Various techniques, such as the Daily Mood Log, are used to examine and evaluate these thoughts.
Empathy: Empathy plays a crucial role in establishing a strong therapeutic alliance. The therapist aims to understand the person's emotions and experiences genuinely, fostering a safe and supportive environment.
Agenda Setting: Collaborative agenda setting involves the therapist and the individual mutually agreeing on the primary concerns or issues to address during therapy. It ensures that the therapy sessions focus on the most significant challenges.
Methods: The methods phase involves employing various cognitive and behavioral techniques to challenge and modify negative thoughts and beliefs. These techniques can include cognitive restructuring, role-playing, exposure exercises, and other evidence-based interventions.
By integrating these four components, TEAM CBT aims to provide individuals with practical tools and strategies to overcome their emotional difficulties. It emphasizes collaboration, empathy, and active involvement from both the therapist and the person receiving therapy.
We love what Kevin offers his clients by way of therapy, and believe he has the capacity to help people struggling with anxiety and depression in a truly meaningful way!

From Kevin:
You have achieved many things in your life. You’re ambitious, driven and intelligent. You may have many successes in your professional career and you have a history of overcoming challenges through hard work. Yet, you feel like you are never good enough, no matter how much you achieve. Maybe you’re plagued by fears of what could go wrong, with “what-if-what-if-what-if?” thoughts running through your mind most of the day. Or maybe you are unable to enjoy the success you’ve worked so hard for because of fear of what could go wrong, or an overwhelming sense of worthlessness.
You are not alone! Many people who experience depression and anxiety think that they have these problems because:
“My worrying is necessary to protect me from getting complacent so I can maintain my high standards. I need to protect all the hard work I have done to be successful.”
“There is really something wrong with me. At some deep level, I’m defective and my worth as a person is dependent on my achievements.”
“Anxiety is bad for me and I need to do whatever I can to push these feelings away. I must avoid the thoughts, people, places and situations that make me feel anxious in order to control my anxiety.”
The truth is, your feelings of fear and worthlessness are not caused by personal defects or shortcomings. These feelings are caused by self-defeating beliefs that lead to automatic negative thoughts. The automatic thoughts that cause depression and anxiety usually have something about them that is not true. The anxiety you experience only gets worse when you try to push it away. The more you resist and avoid anxiety, the bigger it becomes until it takes over and stops you from living the kind of life you want.
Real, long-lasting change is available
You can end your problems with depression and anxiety, and you can feel better rapidly. I can give you the tools of TEAM-CBT, which are highly effective and evidence-based, which means there is real scientific evidence that these methods work. One of the great things about using TEAM is that I have methods to help you lower any normal resistance to change, so any tools we use in therapy will have a very high success rate and you can get the help you need rapidly. Finally, I’ll make sure you have the tools you need to help yourself, so you will become your own therapist and be able to help yourself any time you have problems with depression and anxiety.
Start living the life you want!
