Dr. Yacoob specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and related evidence-based methods for the full range of anxiety concerns:

• Panic attacks and panic disorder

What CBT involves

CBT helps you recognize and modify the thought patterns and behaviors that keep anxiety going, and replace them with skills that hold up under pressure. When useful, Dr. Yacoob draws on acceptance and commitment (ACT), mindfulness-based, schema, and exposure-based methods, matched to your goals.

What to expect

Your first appointment is a 45–60 minute assessment. From there, sessions are typically weekly, focused on clear goals, and oriented toward practical change you can sustain.
