What is DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience emotions intensely and may feel overwhelmed by them. It combines acceptance (“this is where I am”) with change (“I want things to be different”).

Who DBT Helps

DBT is especially helpful for:

  • Emotional overwhelm

  • Self-harm behaviors

  • Relationship challenges

How DBT Helps in Daily Life

If your emotions sometimes feel too big, too fast, or too hard to manage, DBT gives you tools to navigate those moments without feeling out of control.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Stay grounded during emotional spikes

  • Cope with distress without making things worse

  • Communicate your needs more clearly

  • Build more stable and fulfilling relationships

What It Feels Like

Clients often say DBT helps them feel:

  • Less reactive

  • More in control

  • More understood in their relationships 

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on four core areas:
