A nurse is educating a client diagnosed with major depressive disorder about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Which statement by the client indicates a correct understanding of CBT?

Rationale: A. CBT is a psychotherapy, not a pharmacologic treatment—this statement reflects a misunderstanding. B. CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is designed to identify and modify distorted or negative thought patterns and behaviors, helping clients improve emotional regulation and develop coping strategies. C. Avoidance is not the goal of CBT; clients are often encouraged to confront and manage stressors rather than avoid them. D. Exploring unconscious thoughts and childhood experiences is a focus of psychoanalytic or psychodynamic therapy, not CBT.
