Answer:

Cognitive therapy

Explanation:

Cognitive therapy is a psychotherapeutic approach developed by psychiatrist Dr.Aroon T. Beck. This approach focuses on influencing the individual's perception of situations.

The goal of this therapy is for the patient to change the thoughts and beliefs that negatively influence him or her by appropriate new thoughts.
