Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in Arlington

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.

How does DBT work?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.

What is DBT best used for?

DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Arlington, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.

I just started seeing Paula St John. I believe today was my fourth session however I do want to emphasize since I've started seeing her. I know that I made the right choice with choosing y'all and she is a wonderful therapist she listens I and I feel she understands me and I like her feedback it's honest as I want to be told the truth, so I know what areas to improve in my life I feel I should have taken the step of seeing a therapist long ago as I have had many events go on throughout my life like trauma stress depression and most of all anxiety. She did introduce me to DBT dialectical behavior therapy which I have been doing it is very difficult still for me to do as it is hard for me to concentrate and just relax in general but we are working on that. I do want to have an actual session with her where she's directing me in the session versus telling me about it and then I do it after we end our regular session because I want to make sure I'm doing it right in general I do like to meditate like I said it's a very difficult for me I do feel a lot of tension and it's very hard to relax and I know it's Mind Over Matter I would highly recommend Thriveworks and I've already mentioned it to some friends of mine. I know I live in San Antonio and she's based out of the Dallas area however, I would love to make an appointment one day and do an in-person session with her along with my seven-year-old daughter and make that just a trip out there. I look forward to my sessions. They really do help! Seeking personal help with a knowledgeable experienced therapist of many years does help. Paula St John is the perfect match for me in regards of what I'm going through.

She was so calming. It was easy to open up to her and talk about the way I've been feeling. Her voice alone was so therapeutic; I can't wait for next session

Easy and convenient to book according to my schedule. I feel like I'm learning and making progress with Mrs. Antoine. She is extremely kind and empathetic. I would recommend a friend to Thriveworks because of my experience with her.
