Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is the most researched psychological treatment in the world. It’s the outcome of decades of randomised controlled trials across dozens of conditions. For anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, and insomnia, CBT has more evidence behind it than virtually any other psychological intervention.
In India, access to properly trained CBT therapists has historically been limited to a handful of cities. Most qualified clinical psychologists with CBT training are based in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, or Hyderabad. Someone in a smaller city needing structured CBT for OCD or panic disorder had, until recently, essentially no realistic path to it.
Online CBT changes that. The therapy itself translates well to video delivery. The homework component — which is central to how CBT works — happens at home regardless of session format. Platforms like Anvaya Healthcare bring structured, evidence-based CBT to patients across India who wouldn’t otherwise reach it.
CBT is one of the most researched therapies, with strong evidence for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, and insomnia.
Online CBT adapts well to video sessions, making structured therapy accessible across India.
Qualified CBT therapists are mostly based in major cities, limiting access in smaller towns.
CBT works effectively over video, with its structured format making remote sessions simple and practical.
A clinical psychologist (M.Phil. + RCI registration) is the primary CBT provider. CBT training is embedded in clinical psychology postgraduate programmes, with supervised clinical practice as part of the M.Phil. For most conditions — anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, PTSD, insomnia — a clinical psychologist with CBT training is the right starting point.
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy wasn’t built as a general-purpose therapy. Each condition has a specific protocol, the approach for panic disorder looks different from the approach for OCD, which looks different from the approach for insomnia.
Behavioural activation, cognitive restructuring, addressing the withdrawal and negative self-beliefs that sustain depressive episodes. One of the most-studied applications of CBT, with decades of evidence.
CBT with ERP — Exposure and Response Prevention. The mechanism is different from standard CBT and requires a therapist with OCD-specific training, not just general anxiety experience.
Trauma-Focused CBT processes the traumatic memories and cognitive distortions they create. A distinct protocol, not general CBT applied loosely to trauma.
Phobias, panic disorder, sleep disorders, and stress-related concerns where structured, time-limited therapy is more appropriate than open-ended support.
Book online or call us. We’ll guide you — Clinical/Counselling Psychologist for CBT or a psychiatrist if needed. Therapy is usually the first step for child behaviour concerns.
The first session focuses on assessment and goal setting. The therapist understands your concerns, their impact, and defines clear, outcome-focused goals.
If required, a psychiatrist evaluates the need for medication—typically in cases like moderate to severe depression, OCD, or PTSD with comorbidities.
Therapy focuses on identifying negative thought patterns and applying structured CBT techniques. Homework and progress tracking remain central.

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is time-limited. That’s a feature. Most protocols run 8 to 20 sessions. For someone who has been managing anxiety or depression for years without structured treatment, a 12-week course that produces lasting change is genuinely different from open-ended supportive therapy. Privacy makes a difference for conditions that carry stigma. An online session at home changes what people are willing to access. Flexible scheduling. Affordable compared to equivalent in-person specialist care.
Pan India accessibility via Anvaya Healthcare means the person in a smaller city who needs OCD-specific ERP from a trained therapist — not just general counselling — can actually reach one. That access didn’t exist five years ago. Measurable progress is something CBT specifically offers: goals are reviewed, outcomes are tracked, the person knows concretely whether therapy is working.
Affordable, transparent pricing. The Mental Healthcare Act 2017 mandates insurance parity for mental health — check your policy’s OPD clause.

The clinical psychologists and counselling psychologist at Anvaya Healthcare trained at AIIMS, NIMHANS, IHBAS, Lady Hardinge Medical College, and VIMHANS. CBT training varies significantly in depth across postgraduate programmes. A therapist who covered CBT as one module in a general programme is in a different position from one trained at an institution with dedicated supervised practice in multiple CBT protocols. That difference shows up in whether therapy is delivered with the protocol fidelity that the evidence base is actually built on — which is what makes the difference between CBT that works and CBT that doesn’t.
Treatment plans are personalised to both condition and individual. Panic disorder and health anxiety are both anxiety conditions — they need different protocols, different exposure hierarchies, different pacing. Confidential, secure, easy to book, available across India.
Before the first session, pay attention to your thought patterns for a few days. Not clinically — just notice what thoughts tend to arrive in difficult moments. What do you tell yourself when anxiety spikes? What’s the first thought when something goes wrong? What story do you tell yourself about yourself when things don’t go well? That’s the material CBT works with, and coming in with some awareness of it makes the first sessions more productive. Track mood and behaviour in rough outline: when you feel better, when worse, what you’ve avoided. This gives the therapist a starting baseline rather than impressionistic descriptions.
Set two or three specific therapy goals. Not “feel less anxious” but something concrete — attending social events without leaving early, completing work tasks without repeated checking, sleeping through the night. Specific goals give the therapy direction from session one. Private space, stable internet, earphones. Active participation is not optional in CBT — the homework is where most of the change actually happens. Coming prepared to do the work between sessions, not just attend them, is what the therapy requires.
Yes. Multiple meta-analyses confirm that online CBT produces outcomes comparable to in-person delivery for anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and insomnia. The core mechanisms work regardless of whether the session happens in a room or on a screen.
CBT takes about 1 to 2 hours depending upon the symptoms, patient’s medical history and the treatment plan suggested by the psychologist/psychiatrist.
Anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, PTSD, phobias, panic disorder, insomnia, health anxiety, social anxiety, and stress-related concerns. CBT has specific evidence-based protocols for each — they're not interchangeable.
Yes, counselling is confidential. Your information is kept private and secure.
Through Anvaya Healthcare's website or by calling any of the three branches — Dwarka, Vasant Vihar, or Gurugram. Online and in-clinic options are both available.
It varies by condition — see above. What CBT doesn't do is run indefinitely. There are clear markers for when a course is complete, and your therapist should be able to tell you what those are early in the process.
