Essentially what is being described is cognitive restructuring.

Well, yes to the first part and no to the second.
What is being asked is similar to “how to I change a toilet” and what is being described is “other people can change toilets, so just change the toilet.”
That really has nothing to do with answering the question. It’s fine if you already have the skill, useless if you don’t. But I don’t think “just stop worrying” is essentially describing cognitive restructuring at all.
