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 , 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.

Christy made me feel comfortable right away. I had been working with another local therapist who I loved, but who is moving and I was nervous about switching. But Christy has been fantastic already just in our first two visits. Would definitely recommend Christy and Thriveworks

Having therapy at your fingertips is a blessing especially when the experts at Thriveworks are so phenomenal. My 11year old and I see the same person who somehow can relate to both of us. I feel renewed and seen in each meeting, my counselor Lakeisha uses several tools and techniques to help me that are easy to implement in daily practice that I also recommend to my friends and family.

I have had an extraordinary experience using Thriveworks. I use the platform for both Individual Counseling and Couples Counseling. My Individual Therapist has revolutionized my ability to cope day to day as well as broach larger big picture issues. It's drastically improved my quality of life. She has and continues to help me move forward toward my personal goals. Our Couples Counselor has helped facilitate clear and living communication between my side and I and has and continues to help us reach our goals and explore and set new ones to improve the quality of our relationship and our day to day lives. I can't say enough good things about them both, and I have and do recommend Thriveworks to anyone who will listen! I'm so grateful for the quality of the counseling, the convenience of the platform, and the support provided.

I can't say enough good things about Elizabeth. She is kind, caring, and deeply professional, but more than that, she feels like a true partner in my therapeutic journey. She listens with genuine empathy, but also challenges me in ways that help me grow. Her encouragement and perspective have been invaluable, and she always reminds me that the progress I've made comes from the work I've put in—which makes the process feel empowering. The headway I've made with her support has been nothing short of amazing. I feel very fortunate to have found her.

I and so grateful to have such a wonderful therapist. And she is Christian based. I feel like she is a complete blessing and the way she listens and responds has brought me so much comfort that has grown into confidence. It's not just some lady who hears me and reads off solutions. It's a compassionate woman who genuinely cares and gives advice and backs it up with biblical references. I see her as family now! I recommend her to everyone.
