Greetings ! Well yes CBT is a very effective counselling technique that is used effectively to manage panic attacks, fear and obsessive thoughts as it works by altering one s thought process over the course of several sessions which eventually modify one s behaviour. So basically this therapy will help you to learn some core coping skills to endure stress and to manage your underlying conditions. The only disadvantage of this therapy is that it takes 12-16 weeks to help the person to learn the coping skills to counter the symptoms however you shall start observing improvement in your thinking process within a few weeks of starting on this therapy. I hope this helps you take a decision on this therapy. Overall it will be a good choice if you go ahead with it. Regards
