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

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a cognitive behavioral therapy treatment that uses a multidimensional approach to help people learn skills to manage their emotions and improve their relationships. DBT typically includes individual therapy sessions and group skills training.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Common DBT tools include:

  • Group therapy, where patients are taught behavioral skills in a group setting.
  • Individual therapy with a trained professional, where a patient's learned behavioral skills are adapted to their personal life challenges.
  • Core mindfulness, which helps you focus on the present or “live in the moment.” This helps you pay attention to what is happening inside you (thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses) as well as use your senses to tune in to what's happening around you (what you see, hear, smell, and touch) in nonjudgmental ways.

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

Clients are making progress when they are able to manage their symptoms and regulate their emotions.

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

Clients can consistently practice their DBT techniques.

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

Clients can prepare to be open, honest, and committed.

Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

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 Dumont, NJ 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 love my new counselor. She understands what I'm going through and is a Christian. She prays with me and uses the Bible to reference certain things I'm going through the way God see it's.

Alicia, my provider, truly makes me feel safe, heard and respected. I never feel judged. She listens intently and asks me questions to help me probe. I always feel so much better after I have my sessions with her. I've spent so many years looking for the right therapist and always had to stop because I didn't feel safe or heard. But Thriveworks changed that and did a wonderful job matching me with the therapist I needed to help me work on me. I finally feel like I'm on the right path for self improvement thanks to Alicia. She is exemplary and truly made for this work. I'm so grateful for her support in my journey of self healing.

I am a recently retired licensed clinical social worker with 45 plus years of experience in that field of practice. I attended undergraduate school with Michael Martin and have continued to maintain contact with him since that time. Michael has consistently impressed me as a caring, knowledgeable and empathic individual who has brought these traits into his practice as a psychotherapist. He speaks very positively about his work and his satisfaction in assisting the individuals he provides services for on their behalf. In conclusion, I strongly recommend considering Michael as ones' psychotherapist.
