I’ve gotten a lot out of the writings of Albert Ellis whose work in the 50s and 60s became cognitive behavioral therapy.

He credits the ancient stoics and other philosophers for influencing his methods. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/rational-emotive-behavior-therapy https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapy-types/rational-em... https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5836900/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5836900/
