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

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is emotional regulation. This allows the client to understand and manage their emotions effectively.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

DBT tools/skills include identifying and labeling emotions, reducing emotional vulnerability, and increasing positive emotional experiences.

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

A client is making meaningful progress in DBT when behavioral changes occur, such as decreased self-harming behaviors, increased emotional regulation, and improvements in personal relationships.

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

To supplement DBT, clients can do “homework” outside sessions. This might include mindfulness exercises, using specific distress tolerance techniques, or completing emotion regulation worksheets.

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

To prepare for DBT, a client should come to their first session with an open mind, ready to work.

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 Irving, TX 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.

Extremely easy set up and user friendly system. Love that I get weekly zoom links so I don't have any trouble getting into my sessions.

It's more like having a conversation instead of feeling like you're in a session, which works perfect for me. I'm glad Mrs. Bradley was assigned to me.

I've had such a great experience with Thriveworks that I already recommend it to my close friends and family.. . Before starting therapy, I was really nervous and unsure if it would be the right fit for me. But I eventually decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did—especially after connecting with Marcia. In just a few months, I've noticed real improvement in myself, and now I just want to maintain that progress.. . Marcia is truly wonderful. Before each session, I sometimes worry that I won't know what to talk about or that it might feel awkward. But she makes every session feel natural and engaging. She always asks how I'm doing, remembers small details from past sessions, and brings up topics I may have only briefly mentioned, which shows how much she listens and cares. Most importantly, she helps me process my emotions in a healthy way.. . I'm really grateful for this experience, and I appreciate the thoughtful, supportive approach Thriveworks provides.
