Cognitive therapy has become increasingly popular in both Brazil and the United States as a scientifically-backed treatment approach. In Brazil, it is often integrated with other therapeutic modalities and is covered by some health insurance plans (convênios). In the USA, it is a standard evidence-based practice widely recommended by mental health professionals and covered by major insurance providers. The approach aligns with contemporary interest in mental health awareness in both cultures.
