Common approaches to Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

View Robin Stitt's profile

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

My go-to approach for helping people with dialectical behavior therapy is mindfulness exercises. I find the best benefit in meditation and focusing on the present because it has been shown to help people cope with pain and reduce anxiety and depression

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:

  • Mindfulness - Going into the self and learning to observe feelings and emotions
  • Distress tolerance - Tolerating stress (or crisis) and not resorting to maladaptive behaviors
  • Emotional regulation - Identifying, processing, and releasing negative emotions and feelings
  • Interpersonal effectiveness - Dealing with conflict effectively while increasing self-respect

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when their actions and thoughts change.

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

Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with yoga, exercise, relaxation, and guided imagery (body scanning).

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

To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can “think” about what they would like to change about themselves in the now.

It is obvious from working with Dr. Patricia Krikorian that counseling is not a career for her as much as it is a calling. She is compassionate, professional, non-judgmental, and supportive. Her ability to get to the root of the problem and provide helpful and personal counseling solutions is a testament to her years of counseling experience. I highly recommend Dr. Krikorian!! She is passionate about helping others!

I just wanted to say that Dr. Patricia Krikorian is a gem! She was my college professor and taught my Counseling class. She required us to be students of excellence because she is a woman of excellence. She passionately cares about helping anyone who needs guidance on how to navigate through life difficulties. She has many years of experience in her craft and takes pride in helping many throughout her career. She is by no means a novice and is well-respected by me and others.
