The Rothman Center for Pediatric Neuropsychiatry provides cognitive-behavioral therapy for anxiety in youth with an autism spectrum disorder. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (or CBT) is a form of psychological treatment that has been shown to be very effective with a wide variety of psychiatric and psychological problems. Cognitive-behavior therapy can be delivered in either a weekly or intensive (daily) format. Intensive CBT generally involves 90-minute therapy sessions held daily for approximately 2 to 4 weeks and is particularly suitable for severe cases or for those who do not have access to local CBT providers.
