Hi, I’m Gamze Tekin Larsson. I’m a clinical psychologist and a CBT therapist. I completed my undergraduate studies in Psychological Counseling and Guidance at Yeditepe University in 2014 and earned a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at Uskudar University in 2019. Since then, I have attended many international training sessions, conferences, and workshops to expand my knowledge and skills in the field of psychology.
My journey with cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) began in 2016 and it has become an integral part of my therapeutic approach ever since. Additionally, I’ve started training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a third-wave CBT therapy, enhancing my repertoire of therapeutic techniques.
My professional focus is on anxiety-related conditions, which includes generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and specific phobias. I also specialize in obsessive-compulsive disorder, anger management, and sleep-related issues.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on the interconnection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It serves as a practical and effective framework for addressing a wide range of issues. In my practice, CBT plays a central role. I utilize CBT techniques to help individuals identify and modify negative thought patterns, develop coping strategies, and achieve specific goals.
