Cognitive techniques are integral to modern psychology and psychotherapy in both Brazilian and American contexts. In Brazil, cognitive behavioral therapy (TCC - Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental) has gained significant popularity in recent decades. These techniques are widely taught in universities, used in clinical settings, and increasingly incorporated into educational and corporate training programs. The approach emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, reflecting a Western psychological framework that has been well-adopted in contemporary Brazilian mental health practices.
