Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) FAQs

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 Columbus, GA 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 like the availability and ease of making appointments. Debora is always responsive to my emails and always kind. She has become a good friend and confidant in my life. I value her professional skills and insight and wouldn't be where I'm at today without her!

Melissa listens and is affirming and kind. She also asks really good questions to help me process what is going on and get to the root of the issue. Her training in trauma has helped me understand my issues and how to process them, and her knowledge of ADHD, PTSD, and differential diagnoses has been invaluable in explaining my experiences and those of my family members.

★★★★★
I am in two separate counseling sessions.. My individual counselor, Cecelia, is very attentive and reassuring. She always hypes up my wins and helps me reframe negativity. . My couples' counselor, Shantrice, is great at hearing both sides and finding a happy medium concerning our circumstances. We recently decided to separate and she has been very receptive to helping us navigate as future ex-spouses and co-parents.
