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.

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 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.

★★★★★
Alicia is an exceptional clinician. She creates a space where I feel truly seen, heard, and safe to be myself—without any judgment. Her thoughtful questions consistently push me to reflect, grow, and deepen my self-understanding. In just six months, I've experienced more personal growth than I ever expected. After trying treatment elsewhere, I can honestly say I've never felt this level of care and support.
