My work exposure in different settings and among multicultural populations has taught me that everyone has what I call a "life backpack," which interferes with their present life. This informs my person-centered, goal-driven therapeutic approach, as I believe each individual is the main actor in their own life situation. Read more

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

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is focusing on emotional regulation. I find the best benefit in focusing on this core component initially because it helps clients identify their feelings while finding adaptive ways to support and effectively manage specific emotional needs.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:

  • Distress tolerance- Helps people cope with uncomfortable emotions by helping them distract themselves or giving them time to fade away.
  • Mindfulness- Helps people become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment, and can help reduce negative thinking patterns.
  • Emotional regulation- Helps people manage intense changes in emotions and decrease the distress emotions can cause.
  • Interpersonal effectiveness- Helps people navigate relationships more effectively, set boundaries, and express their needs and feelings.

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

I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they become self-aware and are able to effectively manage their emotions in high-stress situations.

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

Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with journaling, exercising, and practicing deep breathing strategies.

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

To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can start a thought journal or write down any questions they have for their therapist to answer.

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 Cypress, 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.

As a very closed off person. I feel good opening up and allowing myself to be vulnerable and actually work through the program.

I don't know what it is about my therapist lm just drawn to her. The first ten minutes after we meet. I knew I was going to like her. She really listen to you. Doesn't rush or push you. Doesn't judge you on anything that talks to her about... I'm so comfortable talking with her.. We still be talking until the last fifteen sec of the zoom meeting.. Would definitely run over the time limit if no one's was actually keeping the time.... ( Really needs two or three sessions a week)... Checking on that ASAP...??????✌️
