Abstract: This is a report of a clinical case in which the patient wishes to modify dysfunctional avoidance behavior, in order to be able to confront his fears of elevators, high places and planes. The presence of activator tasks between sessions as motivation for the final objective was of significant importance. Cognitive behavior therapy was used as base methodology. It was concluded that it is an effective and tangible treatment for the agoraphobic, providing assistance and bringing success and applicability in this case [1].
