CBT Problem-Solving Worksheet

Description:

A CBT Problem-Solving Worksheet is like a personal thinking buddy when life throws curveballs. Rooted in problem-solving therapy and positive psychology, it helps you take messy situations, break them down, and actually do something about them — without spiraling.

Perfect for navigating stress, tough decisions, or the kind of triggers that fuel depression, this worksheet walks you through techniques and simple exercises to explore the issue, brainstorm realistic options, and choose the next best move. It’s not about being perfect — it’s about making progress.

Loved by therapists and totally user-friendly, it’s one of those psychology tools that doesn’t feel clinical — it feels helpful. Whether part of your treatment plan or just a tool you reach for when you're stuck, it’s here to get you unstuck, one clear step at a time.

I am so happy to have found such a comprehensive planner for my Kindle Scribe. The included templates in the Scribe leave a lot to be desired. This planner is incredibly detailed and provides me with all that I need and more to organize my life. I cannot wait to play around with it some more. I would buy again in a heartbeat!
