REBT is a modern approach to overcoming emotional and behavioral

disturbance. It focuses on the present and helps clients take an

active role in their recovery. It helps clients identify the

unrealistic beliefs at the core of their psychological problems and

gives them powerful tools they can use to change their thinking and

dramatically improve their lives.
