What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavioral therapy is to introduce them to workings of their own mind, explain the mechanics of heightened emotional responses, and help them have compassion for themselves. When my clients find space for self-empathy, then they can also find a place to begin feeling better in a whole new way.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

I teach the four modules in DBT, including mindfulness skills, distress tolerance skills, emotional regulation skills, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. Some of my favorite tools are TIPP skills, Giving Hands, DEAR MAN, GIVE FAST, and chain analysis.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

I know my client is making meaningful progress when they report to me that they are applying their skills and seeing a reduction in their feelings of anxiety or depression when they use their skills.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in DBT therapy by seeking an opportunity each day to be mindful and non-judmental of their own thoughts and feelings. It only has to be 5 minutes a day to begin to see change.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

To prepare for their first DBT session, someone can take three deep breaths. DBT is not scary. DBT is a chance to learn, in a simple and effective way, how to feel better in almost every situation you find yourself in.

Pamela has been my counselor for nearly 6 months. She has helped me understand the different relationships I have with my friends and acquaintances. Now I am better able to navigate relationships.

Pamela really helped me through some difficult issues; she helped me to understand the people in my life and how to interact with them and understand why they are how to understand them. With that knowledge, I am better able to interact. It is very helpful to have someone I can share everything with. And Pamela is that person for me.

My husband and I sought counseling due to several significant issues in our marriage. We were distraught and on the verge of divorce. Jeannie's approach to marriage counseling led us through a process that changed my perspective on my husband's actual needs and his to my needs. We didn't hear what the other was truly saying! I would highly recommend Jeannie to work with any couple from minor issues to major issues in their marriage.
