Learning how to cope with change can sometimes prove to be difficult. Therapy is a great gateway toward learning to cope with the loss of a loved one, change of work/school, going through a different stage in your life, or any kind of challenges you may face.

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is helping them understand the basics of DBT, and that the use of new skills can alter their life and their experiences.
I teach the many tools in DBT: mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, self-soothing, and recognizing emotions to name a few.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they report successful use of DBT skills.
Clients can supplement their time in DBT therapy by making a commitment to the work discussed in therapy, practicing the new skills, and possibly attending peer support groups.
To prepare for their first DBT therapy session, someone can be open and honest about their experiences. If sessions are to be on Zoom, check internet speed, have a place that is safe and private, and plan to not be driving.
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.
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.
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.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
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).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Midland, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
