Cognitive Behavioral is really beneficial and one of the most widespread treatments for mental health issues. Basically, it consists of talking about the things you're feeling and how you're handling those feelings, with a licensed psychologist or therapist. The therapist you're assigned to after your intake evaluation will meet with you once a week (or whatever other time interval is recommended, I'm doing once a week right now, personally, but I know my therapist would gladly bump me up to twice a week if I felt like I was struggling, or once every two weeks if I felt better and wanted to try a longer interval.) Your therapist will listen to your thoughts about your emotions and impulses and discuss potential coping skills in lieu of destructive behaviors or habits. Your therapist's job is to help you help yourself. Through your sessions, the goal is to get you to a point at which you feel safe and comfortable talking about your problems and to guide you into a healthier way of life.

Common intake questions include: Sleep patterns, previous treatment (if any), anything that brings you to seeking treatment, whether you're more comfortable with a male or female therapist, among other things. Others have posted common questions as well.
