FAQ -

Mr. Hussein El-Sherbiny

What is Family-Based CBT, and why is it effective for children?
- Family-Based CBT is a therapeutic model that involves both the child and their caregivers in the healing process. Instead of focusing solely on the child during sessions, this approach recognizes that families play a crucial role in shaping behaviors, emotions, and daily routines. By equipping parents with strategies and engaging children through structured play and behavioral exercises, Family-Based CBT helps improve emotional regulation, reduce challenging behaviors, and strengthen family bonds. Its effectiveness lies in its practicality — skills learned in therapy are reinforced at home, making progress sustainable.

How does Mr. Hussein El-Sherbiny apply Family-Based CBT in practice?
- Mr. Hussein begins with a behavioral-first evaluation, carefully observing and assessing each child’s strengths and difficulties. Once he understands their needs, he develops a structured plan that blends CBT principles with interactive, play-based techniques. Sessions are designed to be engaging, ensuring children remain motivated while learning important skills. Families are actively involved, receiving guidance on how to continue the process at home. This collaborative model ensures therapy does not end at the clinic but becomes part of daily life.
  Family-Based CBT
What types of challenges can Family-Based CBT address?
- This approach is particularly effective for children facing ADHD, difficulties with behavioral regulation, anxiety, and mood-related challenges. For children with ADHD, strategies focus on improving attention, organization, and impulse control. In cases of anxiety or mood difficulties, therapy teaches coping skills, relaxation techniques, and healthier ways to process emotions. By targeting specific challenges while also fostering overall resilience, Family-Based CBT helps children grow more confident and capable in different areas of life.
Why does Mr. Hussein emphasize play as part of therapy?
- Play is more than entertainment — it is a child’s natural language for learning and expression. Hussein believes that through play, children can explore emotions, practice problem-solving, and learn self-regulation in a safe environment. Play-based activities also make therapy less intimidating, allowing children to engage more openly. For example, role-playing games may be used to practice social skills, while interactive tasks help reinforce coping strategies. This approach makes therapy enjoyable while delivering meaningful results.
