Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is basically a collection of techniques that are effective for anxiety.

There are three main techniques: Relaxation Training (different forms of self-guided meditation), Thought Restructuring (a type of journaling where you practice talking back to thoughts on paper and then start doing it in your head), and Gradual Exposures (ways of confronting anxiety in such a way that your brain burns through it).

If you think of anxiety as being an enemy that comes up and messes with you periodically, there are three styles of fighting against that enemy: the Yoga Style, the Logic Style, and the Berserker Style.
