behavioral approach sometime also called cognitive behavioral

The idea behind the approach is that we learn from the environment, and we are able to adapd then to learn and change learning patterns.

Classical conditioning and operant conditioning will help us to better adapt to the desired goal of behavior.

If everytime we  get good grades or do something we rewards ourselves by eatinig candy or chocolate then we are applying this.

On the other hand if something is bothering , we can work on ways to prevent it. We refer to this as negative reinforcement.

Unwanted Thoughts will also be considered but, action is more important as it is the basis for learning strategies.

Behavior therapy often focuses on improving learning and developing skills to tackle situations at school, at work, and with very specific issues in order to modify course of action.
