Upon completing her PhD,Beidas joined the faculty at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania in 2012.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy that aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions,primarily depression,PTSD and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and their associated behaviors to improve emotional regulation and develop personal coping strategies that target solving current problems. Though it was originally designed to treat depression,its uses have been expanded to include many issues and the treatment of many mental health and other conditions,including anxiety,substance use disorders,marital problems,ADHD,and eating disorders. CBT includes a number of cognitive or behavioral psychotherapies that treat defined psychopathologies using evidence-based techniques and strategies.
