Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a comprehensive therapeutic model focused on building practical skills to support self-regulation and emotional well-being. It includes core modules such as mindfulness (learning to observe and describe thoughts and feelings without judgment), distress tolerance (developing strategies to cope with crises or intense emotions without making things worse), emotion regulation (identifying and naming emotions, reducing vulnerability to intense feelings, and increasing positive emotional experiences), and interpersonal effectiveness (assertive communication, setting boundaries, and maintaining relationships). Through structured exercises, worksheets, and in-session practice, clients learn to notice triggers, pause before reacting, and apply specific strategies when they feel overwhelmed.
DBT can be a powerful resource for managing high life stressors whether you’re facing pressures at work, school challenges, or major life transitions. In therapy, we’ll explore specific DBT skills like mindfulness to stay grounded, distress tolerance techniques to cope in the moment, emotion regulation strategies to reduce overwhelm, and interpersonal effectiveness tools to navigate difficult conversations. Together, we’ll identify which skills best fit your situation and practice applying them until they become natural supports in your daily life.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin by stress or unsure how to handle intense emotions, therapy offers a safe space to learn and refine these tools. Let’s work together to build resilience and balance. Consider scheduling an appointment today to begin exploring how DBT skills can help you thrive amid life’s demands.
