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

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical therapy is mindfulness. Taking a moment to ground yourself goes a long way in dealing with big emotions.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

In dialectical behavior therapy, clients are taught:

  • How to identify and express emotions
  • Mindfulness
  • Deep breathing
  • Grounding techniques
  • How to expand and utilize a positive support system
  • How to set and achieve SMART goals (specific, measurable, attainable, reasonable, time-limited

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

When clients are more able to deal with day-to-day emotions without feeling overwhelmed, it is a sign of meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy.

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

Downloading and utilizing a mindfulness app on your phone, attending yoga, or trying some relaxation techniques on YouTube are all ways clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy.

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

Look for and make an appointment with someone you think you will be comfortable with and try to go in with an open mind for your first session.

I had 6 or 7 sessions with Nancy Fredricks. A lovely lady. However, I had to end my sessions with her. I started becasue I was going through a depression,which was not normal for me. I had never had councelling on my own before. I'd had marriage councelling, but never individual councelling. Nancy did not ask a lot of questions or offer much in the way of practical solutions. Also, Nancy spends a lot of time scratching her head. I'm not sure what her condition is, but it is very distracting to watch during a therapy session. I'm not saying that talking to Nancy didn't help me. But it was not offering enough of a value that I would continue on with it. I wish her a lot of success in the future.

Absolutely unbelievable..I would never on my life have thought that the therapist needs a therapist for her own issues with dealing with people and client feedback. I'm very disappointed with nancy Frederick. She is no where qualified to act as a financial advisor or medical doctor and give unprofessional and non solicited advice.
