CBT is a method of therapy that is intended to reduce behavior which may contribute to a person's negative mental health, this is done by changing a person's thought process. The CEO of the app, Evan Conrad, notes that CBT was developed with four decades of research that allow the method to be the gold standard of efficacy.
The CBT app enables users to practice the triple-column technique, which involves identifying a process that involves negative thoughts causing a cognitive error and implementing rational alternative thought. Users can open the app and record thoughts, which can help them practice the triple-column technique. Quirk will also be looking to expand in order to connect users to professionals in the future.
