Who We Are: Three Professionals, One Shared Vision for the Future of CBT Training
CBTLAB was created by a small team with a rare combination of identities: managers from global technology companies, practicing CBT clinicians, and people who believe that mental-health education must evolve, not repeat the formats of the past.
This blend — technical, clinical, and visionary — shapes everything we build.
Denis, Dima, and Yura: Three Backgrounds, One Direction
All three of us spent years working in international tech companies, leading projects, building systems, and managing complex processes.
That experience taught us how effective products are created: through structure, clarity, user-centered design, and strong execution.
These principles form the backbone of CBTLAB.
At the same time, we are all clinicians.
Each of us has completed formal training, works with clients, and practices Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in real therapeutic settings.
We understand what it means to sit with a client, navigate uncertainty, and make clinical decisions in the moment.
This keeps the platform grounded, ethical, and aligned with the realities of the therapy room.
And we are visionaries.
We believe that therapists cannot be trained using the same educational methods that existed twenty years ago.
The world has changed.
We now have technologies, simulations, interactive learning environments, AI models, and evidence-based educational frameworks that make it possible to build skills faster and more effectively.
Digital tools can expand a therapist’s capacity — not replace it, but strengthen it.
Why This Combination Matters?
Our background in technology helps us build CBTLAB with the standards of modern product design: structured, thoughtful, transparent, and focused on learner experience.
Our clinical background keeps the work humane and responsible.
And our shared vision pushes us to create tools that move mental-health education forward.
Together, we bring these identities into one mission: to create a digital space where future therapists learn CBT not from static lectures, but through dynamic, repeatable, skill-based practice — the way real clinical competence is formed.
